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. The absence of reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the firm to enhance its climate strategy in alignment with industry standards.
