In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of Macquarie Group were 482 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2020, Macquarie Group's Scope 1 emissions have increased by 1.05%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Macquarie Group's Scope 1 emissions increased by 16.14%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2025, Macquarie Group reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 0 tCO₂e using the market-based method.a
Since 2020, Macquarie Group's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Market-Based) have decreased by 100%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.a
In 2025, Macquarie Group reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method.a
In 2025, Macquarie Group reported 227,896 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of Macquarie Group includes a breakdown across 3 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, Macquarie Group reported total Scope 3 emissions of 227,896 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 100% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 0% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2020, Macquarie Group's Scope 3 emissionshave remained relatively stable, indicating that Macquarie Group's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Macquarie Group's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Macquarie Group's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.ab
In 2025, Macquarie Group reported emissions for 3 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
The limited disclosure restricts visibility into specific emission sources across the company's value chain.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Macquarie Group's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Macquarie Group reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 482 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 4,243 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.11 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Macquarie Group reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.11 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.35, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Macquarie Group ranked 9 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Macquarie Group is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Macquarie Group reported a total carbon footprint of 228,378 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 2.22% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.ab
The largest contributor to Macquarie Group's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 99.79% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 0.21%.a
