However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The company has not provided emissions data for Scope 3, which typically includes indirect emissions from the value chain.

Overall, Rothschild & Co's emissions data indicates a significant commitment to transparency, although further details on reduction initiatives and targets would enhance their climate strategy.
