S&P's reported carbon emissions

S&P currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor are there specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. Without concrete figures or defined goals, it is challenging to assess their carbon footprint or climate strategy. However, S&P is expected to align with industry standards and best practices in addressing climate change, which typically includes commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3) and to enhance sustainability efforts. As the company progresses, it may establish measurable targets and report on its emissions to demonstrate accountability and commitment to climate action.
