This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 63,160 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 54,190 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions amounting to about 1,126,700 kg CO2e. The data reflects a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, with total emissions recorded at approximately 59.3 million kg CO2e in 2022, 171.5 million kg CO2e in 2021, and 183.9 million kg CO2e in 2020. Sustainalytics operates as a current subsidiary of Sustainalytics B.V., with emissions data cascaded from this parent organization. Notably, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges currently in place, indicating a potential area for future commitment and improvement in their climate strategy. The absence of specific reduction initiatives suggests that Sustainalytics may need to enhance its focus on sustainability and emissions reduction to align with industry standards and expectations.
