No operational GHG emissions data disclosed for Northern Trust in 2024.
NaNIn 2024, Northern Trust reported 614 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 2024 disclosure of Northern Trust includes a breakdown across 1 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, down from 3 in 2021, indicating a decline in reporting granularity and reduced insight into the company's full value chain emissions.a
In 2024, Northern Trust reported total Scope 3 emissions of 614 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 2019, Northern Trust's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 96.97%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2021), Northern Trust's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 80.81%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.ab
In 2024, Northern Trust reported emissions for 1 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 2024, the largest contributors to Northern Trust's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2020, Northern Trust reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 1,610 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 6,101 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.26 tCO₂e per millions USD.c
In 2020, Northern Trust reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.26 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.11, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.c
In 2020, Northern Trust ranked 16 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).c
Northern Trust is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.c
