Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Macquarie Group Limited

Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Macquarie Group Limited, which means that any relevant emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from this parent organisation. As of now, Waddell & Reed has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other recognised frameworks. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. The emissions data and climate strategies of Waddell & Reed are influenced by its relationship with Macquarie Group Limited, which operates at a cascade level of 4. This means that any climate-related initiatives or performance metrics may reflect the broader strategies of Macquarie Group, although specific details on emissions or commitments from this parent company have not been provided. In summary, Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. is currently without specific emissions data or reduction targets, relying on its corporate relationship with Macquarie Group Limited for potential climate commitments and performance insights.
