VanEck's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, VanEck reported a carbon intensity of approximately 0.025 tonnes CO2e per million USD in sales, reflecting their commitment to sustainability. The previous year, 2021, indicated a carbon emissions factor of about 60,000 tonnes CO2e per million USD invested. However, specific absolute emissions data for Scope 1, 2, or 3 were not disclosed. Currently, VanEck has not established any formal reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of specified reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for the firm to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for emissions reduction. Overall, while VanEck demonstrates a focus on carbon intensity metrics, further transparency and commitment to emissions reduction could strengthen its climate commitments in the financial sector.
