Abrdn

Abrdn, a UK-based financial services company, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 62.86 million kg CO2e in 2025. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 585,000 kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of approximately 285,000 kg CO2e (or location-based Scope 2 emissions of about 1.14 million kg CO2e), and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 62 million kg CO2e. Key categories within Scope 3 for 2025 include investments at about 111.7 billion kg CO2e (this appears to be an outlier when compared with the other scope 3 emissions), purchased goods and services at approximately 55.21 million kg CO2e, and business travel at around 3.85 million kg CO2e.

Looking at previous years, Abrdn's total emissions were approximately 8.34 million kg CO2e in 2024, about 9.92 million kg CO2e in 2023, and roughly 9.55 million kg CO2e in 2022.

Abrdn's real estate business is committed to achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2050 across Scope 1, 2, and 3, aligned with the Better Buildings Partnership (BBP) Climate Commitment. The company has seen significant reductions in its real estate portfolio's carbon intensity: a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 carbon intensity (by floor area) for funds on a net-zero pathway between 2019 and 2023. For the broader portfolio, there was a 34% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 carbon intensity (by floor area) between 2019 and 2023. While Abrdn tracks Scope 3 emissions for many of its funds and aims to enhance the reliability of this data, these are not yet comprehensively included in all disclosures due to variations in data availability.
