before 2040.
To achieve this goal throughout MSCI’s global operations, MSCI
will prioritize:
- Reducing emissions:accelerate carbon-reduction
initiatives focusing on the most material and controllable
emissions, such as electricity consumption, business travel and
employee commutes; favor green-certified buildings for MSCI
offices, promote a flexible working environment for employees,
encourage virtual meetings and low-carbon options for business
travel

chain and prioritize engagement with major suppliers to achieve
shared net-zero goals

Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50%, and Scope 3 emissions by 20%. With

supplement its transition strategy as best practices and
technological developments emerge.

comments, “Companies have a fundamental responsibility to
reduce their impact on the planet and join the journey to a
decarbonized economy. MSCI’s commitment reflects our obligation to
be good stewards of the capital that long-term shareholders entrust

transformation of our company, culture and our actions to the
benefit of all our stakeholders. We believe this action is needed
