S&P Global, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 414,769 metric tons CO2e in 2025. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 1,278 metric tons CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of approximately 61 metric tons CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 413,430 metric tons CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2025 were purchased goods and services (approximately 312,111 metric tons CO2e) and business travel (about 48,248 metric tons CO2e).

Looking back, their total emissions were about 445,894 metric tons CO2e in 2024, 359,993 metric tons CO2e in 2023, 323,657 metric tons CO2e in 2022, 213,980 metric tons CO2e in 2021, and 238,659 metric tons CO2e in 2020.

S&P Global has committed to several climate targets:

• Near-term Targets:
  • Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 25.2% by 2025 from a 2019 base year. This is equivalent to a 25% reduction per square foot.
  • Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from employee business travel by 25% by 2025 from a 2019 base year.
  • Ensure that 81% of its suppliers, by spend covering purchased goods and services and capital goods, will have science-based targets by 2025.
• Long-term Targets:
  • Achieve net-zero GHG emissions across the entire value chain by 2040.
  • Reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2019 base year.

These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C. The company is actively implementing a comprehensive strategy to reduce emissions associated with its offices, business travel, and supply chain.
