S&P Global

S&P Global, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 414.8 million kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 1.3 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 61,000 kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2 emissions, and roughly 413.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

Looking back, their total emissions were approximately 445.9 million kg CO2e in 2024, consisting of about 2.3 million kg CO2e in Scope 1, 8.2 million kg CO2e in market-based Scope 2, and 435.4 million kg CO2e in Scope 3. In 2023, total emissions were around 360 million kg CO2e, with 2 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 17.5 million kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2, and 340.5 million kg CO2e from Scope 3.

S&P Global has set several climate commitments. They aim for a 25.2% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2025 from a 2019 baseline. Furthermore, they are committed to a 25% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel within the same timeframe. S&P Global has also pledged that 81% of its suppliers, by spend covering purchased goods and services and capital goods, will have science-based targets by 2025. The company has a long-term goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2040, which includes a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions from a 2019 baseline by that year.

These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
