As of the latest available data, MSCI, Inc. does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of disclosed emissions data. The company is classified as a merged entity and inherits its climate-related commitments and data from its corporate family, specifically from Exela Technologies, Inc. at a cascade level of three. Currently, MSCI, Inc. has not set any documented reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) at its own level. This absence of specific targets suggests that while MSCI may be engaged in broader industry discussions on climate commitments, it has not formalised its own reduction strategies or emissions reporting. In the context of the industry, MSCI's lack of emissions data and reduction initiatives may reflect a broader trend among financial services firms, where climate commitments are increasingly scrutinised. However, without specific targets or emissions figures, it is challenging to assess the company's climate impact or progress effectively.
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.
MSCI, Inc. is not participating in any of the initiatives that 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.
