Jefferies Financial Group has published its 2024 Sustainability Report.
Highlights of the report include the firm’s disclosure of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions including seven categories of Scope 3 emissions. Jefferies also purchased renewable energy credits to address emissions associated with grid electricity and carbon offsets to mitigate its remaining Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
Rich Handler, our CEO, and Brian Friedman, our President, said, “This report shares the many ways we continued to make progress this past year in support of the principles of ‘long-termism’ we have always prioritized for the benefit of our employees, clients, investors, bondholders and other stakeholders. Although there is always more to do, we are inspired by our team’s relentless commitment to supporting sustainability. We hope you take some time to read about how that commitment translates into action.”
