MSCI, a US-based services auxiliary to financial intermediation company, reported its carbon emissions for 2024, totalling approximately 56.6 million kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1, Scope 2 (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions.

The company has set ambitious climate commitments, aligned with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) methodologies. MSCI aims to achieve a 50% reduction in its Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions by 2035, with a 2019 baseline. Furthermore, MSCI plans to reduce its Scope 3 emissions by 20% by the same year. In line with global climate goals, MSCI has also committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040, with a 2019 base year. This commitment is supported by near-term targets, including an 80% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions by 2030, both from a 2019 baseline. Progress towards these targets is being monitored, with 2025 milestones including achieving 100% renewable electricity and increasing the proportion of suppliers with science-based targets.
