Alfred Tinkersmith Sustainability Commitments
2040
Direct carbon emissions target
Alfred State says its sustainability and carbon neutrality plan includes a goal to eliminate or neutralize its direct carbon emissions by 2040. Direct emissions, often called Scope 1 emissions, are the pollution a group creates from sources it owns or controls, such as fuel use on site. The plan was developed as part of its commitment under the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment, a climate pledge for colleges and universities.
2030
Mobilize sustainable finance
Morgan Stanley says it aims to mobilize $1 trillion for sustainable solutions by 2030, including $750 billion for low-carbon and green solutions. This is a future finance target, not a finished result. The firm says the goal covers its business lines in institutional securities, wealth management, and investment management, and is part of its wider sustainable finance strategy.
2050
Net-zero financed emissions
Morgan Stanley says it has a goal to reach net-zero financed emissions by 2050, with interim targets for 2030 in sectors such as auto manufacturing, aviation, chemicals, energy, mining, and power. Financed emissions are the emissions linked to the company’s lending and investing activities. The target is part of its climate strategy and is described alongside progress updates in its sustainability reporting.
