Schroders has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 or sooner. They have a near-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 (location-based) GHG emissions by 46% by 2030, using a 2019 base year. Additionally, Schroders has committed to reducing operational emissions by 30% by 2030 from a 2020 baseline for Scope 1 and Scope 2. The company also aims to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of this decade and achieve 100% renewable energy across all operations by 2025, with carbon neutrality by 2024. Schroders's Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments cover 62% of its total investment and lending activities as of 2019, with targets for operational emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) consistent with keeping global warming to 1.5°C.
