Mercer's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Mercer reported total carbon emissions of approximately 39,495,575,760 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions from all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 4,900,603,150 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 1,224,636,010 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions accounted for about 33,370,336,600 kg CO2e. Despite the significant emissions, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or initiatives from Mercer aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of specific climate pledges or science-based targets indicates a need for further commitment to sustainability practices within the organisation. Mercer operates in a sector where climate accountability is increasingly critical, and the lack of defined reduction strategies may impact their reputation and operational resilience in a climate-conscious market.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Mercer is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
