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.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
S&P is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
