VanEck's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, VanEck reported a carbon intensity of approximately 0.025 tonnes CO2e per million dollars in sales, although specific total emissions data (Scope 1, 2, or 3) was not disclosed. The company has not set any formal reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a lack of publicly available commitments towards emissions reduction. As of now, there are no emissions data cascaded from a parent organisation, and all information is derived directly from VanEck itself. The absence of detailed emissions reporting suggests that VanEck may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy.
