Shearman & Sterling's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, Shearman & Sterling has not disclosed specific carbon emissions figures for recent years, including 2020 and beyond. The most recent emissions data available is from 2019, where the firm reported a Scope 1 and 2 intensity of approximately 75.0 kg CO2e per unit of output. The firm has not set any formal reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) nor has it made any specific climate pledges. This lack of disclosed reduction initiatives suggests that Shearman & Sterling may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. In the context of the legal industry, many firms are increasingly recognising the importance of addressing climate change and are setting ambitious targets to reduce their carbon footprints. However, without specific data or commitments from Shearman & Sterling, it remains unclear how they plan to align with these industry trends.
