The European Securities and Markets Authority's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 407.8 million kg CO2e. This figure is derived solely from Scope 3 emissions, specifically from fuel and energy-related activities, which accounted for about 138.5 million kg CO2e. In the previous year, 2023, ESMA's total emissions were significantly lower at approximately 430,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions from fuel and energy-related activities also contributing about 138,000 kg CO2e. ESMA has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it have any climate pledges documented. The organisation's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent company, indicating that it operates independently in its reporting and climate commitments. Overall, while ESMA has made strides in reporting its emissions, there is a clear need for more comprehensive data across all scopes and the establishment of reduction targets to enhance its climate strategy.
