First American Financial's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, First American Financial reported total carbon emissions of approximately 36,802,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions from various scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 1,015,000 kg CO2e, primarily from mobile combustion. Scope 2 emissions, which encompass purchased electricity, accounted for approximately 19,830,000 kg CO2e. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions, which include business travel and employee commuting, totalled around 15,670,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, First American Financial has shown a trend in emissions reduction. For instance, in 2022, total emissions were about 36,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight increase in 2023. However, when comparing 2021's emissions of approximately 37,000,000 kg CO2e, there is a notable reduction in emissions over the two-year period. Despite these figures, First American Financial has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, such as those outlined by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised strategies for significant reductions in the near future. Overall, First American Financial's emissions profile reflects its operational impact, with a clear need for enhanced climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations.
