Northwestern Mutual's reported carbon emissions

Northwestern Mutual, headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges available at this time. The company does not inherit emissions data from a parent organisation, and all information is sourced directly from Northwestern Mutual itself. As of now, the lack of reported emissions and reduction initiatives suggests that Northwestern Mutual may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments.
