ESG Data
In addition to our annual sustainability report and regular shareholder filings, we provide important information throughout our website on how we approach sustainability issues for our key stakeholders. These pages were created to provide an overview.
Our ability to make a difference with respect to the environment includes (1) the steps we take to mitigate the impact our operations have on the environment, (2) our efforts to address and reduce the risks to our company from climate change, and (3) the opportunities created by our climate-related products and services across market infrastructure and data.
