In 2021, Russell Investments reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,208,000 kg CO2e, comprising 75,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and about 1,134,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The organisation has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Despite the significant emissions figures, Russell Investments has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The emissions data is cascaded from their parent company, Russell Investment Management, LLC, indicating a corporate family relationship that influences their reporting. As a current subsidiary, Russell Investments is part of a broader commitment to sustainability, although specific climate pledges or initiatives have not been detailed in the available data. The absence of reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the organisation to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for emissions reduction.
