FactSet Commits to the Science Based Targets Initiative and Establishes a Net Zero Emissions Goal

FactSet Commits to the Science Based Targets Initiative and Establishes a Net Zero Emissions Goal

FactSet, a global provider of integrated financial information, analytical applications, and industry-leading services, today announced its commitment to set a near-term, company-wide emission reduction target in line with the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). Independent of committing to set a SBTi validated near-term target, FactSet has also announced a future goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2040. 

This pledge comes on the heels of a number of sustainability initiatives that FactSet completed within the last year to combat the climate change crisis, including creating the company’s sustainability plan and an executive-sponsored Sustainability Committee to execute this strategy. FactSet also published its 2021 Sustainability Report, prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, which outlined the company’s targets, objectives, and measurable outcomes based on its existing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.

Today’s announcement represents the next milestone in FactSet’s decarbonization efforts to drive a zero-emissions economy and reinforces its pledge to implement sustainable policies and provide transparent reporting, as evidenced by its signing the United Nations Global Compact and the internationally recognized Principles for Responsible Investing (PRI).
