1 Our 2019 and 2020 GHG emissions were retroactively recalculated due to improved access to vendor spend data and M&A activity. Consequently, our science-based targets for reducing our GHG emissions were re-submitted to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTI) and coverage was re-validated.
2 Business travel and employee commuting emissions were restated to include well-to-wheel emissions to ensure alignment to the SBTI Target Validation Protocol and Transport Guidance.
3 Emissions include all offices under financial control. Square footage includes Moody's managed offices and excludes shared-space offices due to data limitations. The impact is expected to be not material, with emissions in shared-space offices accounting for approximately 0.6% of total GHG inventory in 2021.
