This indicates a significant reduction in emissions from 2019 to 2021, followed by an increase in 2022 and 2023. Despite these emissions figures, Bain Capital has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company does not inherit emissions data from a parent organization, and all reported figures are based solely on its own operations. Bain Capital's commitment to addressing climate change remains unclear, as there are no specific initiatives or targets outlined in their reports. The company continues to monitor its emissions and may consider future commitments to align with industry standards for sustainability and carbon reduction.
