SUSTAINALYTICS's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, SUSTAINALYTICS reported total carbon emissions of approximately 240,349,000 kg CO2e. This figure represents a significant increase compared to previous years, with emissions recorded at about 59,277,000 kg CO2e in 2022, 171,452,000 kg CO2e in 2021, and 183,927,000 kg CO2e in 2020. Despite the fluctuations in emissions, SUSTAINALYTICS has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined reduction strategies, such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments, indicates a need for clearer climate commitments within the organisation. As a company headquartered in the Netherlands (NL), SUSTAINALYTICS operates in a global context where climate action is increasingly critical. The lack of detailed scope emissions data (Scope 1, 2, or 3) further highlights the necessity for enhanced transparency and accountability in their climate strategy.
