Nuveen's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Nuveen reported total carbon emissions of approximately 73,868,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 4,258,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 29,373,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 40,237,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The data reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all three scopes. In 2022, the organisation's global emissions were slightly lower at about 72,353,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 3,639,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 28,791,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 39,232,000 kg CO2e. Notably, in the UK for the same year, Nuveen's emissions were reported at 1,664,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 18,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 62,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Nuveen has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments. The emissions data is cascaded from their parent company, Nuveen Investments, Inc., and is part of a broader corporate family relationship with Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, which also contributes to their emissions reporting. Overall, while Nuveen has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
