Bain Capital's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Bain Capital reported total carbon emissions of approximately 19,628,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 288,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 2,373,000 kg CO2e. This marks an increase from 2022, when total emissions were about 16,877,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 184,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 2,552,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, Bain Capital has shown fluctuations in its emissions, with a notable decrease in total emissions from about 20,633,000 kg CO2e in 2019 to 7,291,000 kg CO2e in 2021, indicating a significant reduction effort during that period. However, the emissions have since increased again. Bain Capital has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, suggesting a need for more defined commitments in their climate strategy. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data indicates that the company may not be fully accounting for its entire carbon footprint, which is crucial for comprehensive climate action. Overall, while Bain Capital has made strides in reducing emissions in the past, the recent data highlights a need for renewed focus on sustainability and clearer commitments to future reductions.
