Abrdn's reported carbon emissions

In 2025, Abrdn reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,703,000 kg CO2e, comprising 585,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,141,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and significant Scope 3 emissions, including 111,700,000,000 kg CO2e from investments and 55,211,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services. This reflects a commitment to transparency in emissions reporting, with data disclosed across all three scopes. Abrdn has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for Net Zero Carbon by 2050 across all scopes, as defined by the Better Buildings Partnership (BBP) Climate Commitment. Notably, from 2019 to 2023, the company achieved a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 carbon intensity (by floor area) for funds on a net-zero pathway, with a 29% reduction noted between 2022 and 2023. The company is actively enhancing the reliability of its Scope 3 emissions data through annual collection exercises. This data is not cascaded from any parent organization, ensuring that Abrdn's emissions figures and climate commitments are independently reported.
