Putnam's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Putnam LLC reported greenhouse gas emissions intensity of approximately 0.20902 kg CO2e per unit of revenue, although specific total emissions figures for Scope 1, 2, and 3 were not disclosed. The company has not set any formal reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a lack of specific commitments towards emissions reduction at this time. As a current subsidiary of Putnam LLC, any emissions data or climate initiatives would be inherited from this parent organisation. However, no significant reduction initiatives or targets have been identified in the available data. Putnam's approach to climate commitments remains vague, with no specific strategies outlined for addressing their carbon footprint or engaging in industry-standard climate initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction targets suggests that Putnam may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with broader industry expectations and sustainability goals.
