Mercer's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Mercer reported total carbon emissions of approximately 39.5 million tonnes CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: about 4.9 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 1.2 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 33.4 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Despite this substantial carbon footprint, Mercer has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a potential area for future development in their climate strategy. The absence of defined reduction goals suggests that while Mercer is aware of its emissions, it may need to enhance its commitments to align with industry standards for climate action. Overall, Mercer's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing both direct and indirect emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which often represents the largest share of a company's carbon footprint.
