S&P's reported carbon emissions
S&P has not publicly disclosed specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it provide detailed reduction targets or initiatives. Without available emissions figures, it is challenging to assess their current carbon footprint or the scope of their emissions (Scope 1, 2, or 3). However, S&P is likely engaged in industry-standard climate commitments, which may include pledges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance sustainability practices. As the company operates within a sector increasingly focused on climate action, it may be aligning its strategies with broader environmental goals. Further information on their specific commitments or achievements would be necessary to provide a comprehensive overview of their climate initiatives.
