IG Group sustainability score: 34/100

Scope 1 and 2 emissions quantified at 939.5 tCO2e for 12 months to December 2025 using GHG Protocol methodology. ISAE 3410 limited assurance obtained. Multi-year data disclosed. Scope 2 relies partly on REGO certificates rather than verified PPAs. Lacks granular facility-level breakdown.

Scope 3 categories quantified at ~35,028 tCO2e including purchased goods (31,378.5 tCO2e), capital goods, and waste. Uses EEIO factors and supplier CDP data. Downstream Scope 3 not measured. No formal supplier engagement programme or reduction targets evidenced. Coverage reasonable but unverified.

Overall emissions increased 13% period-on-period, primarily Scope 3 Category 3.1 driven by marketing spend. Only quantified target is 2.5% relative (intensity-based) reduction—not absolute. No documented absolute reduction pathway. Rising absolute emissions cap potential score at 4.

REGO certificates assigned to offices on renewable tariffs; London headquarters reported as 100% renewable. REGO certificates are unbundled instruments without guaranteed additionality. No RE100 membership or verified PPAs. Market-based Scope 2 of 758.7 tCO2e indicates non-renewable use persists across global estate.

Online financial services business with no land use, deforestation, supply chain agriculture, or manufacturing. Operations limited to offices and data centres. No TNFD disclosure identified. No formal biodiversity policy documented. No adverse nature impact evidence found; low-exposure profile warrants basic score.

Waste tracked via actual data or estimates from global offices; Scope 3 Category 3.5 reported at 111.8 tCO2e. No formal circular economy targets, supplier sustainability requirements, or comprehensive recycling programme disclosed. Only CO2e reported; waste volumes not quantified. No waste reduction targets.

Water consumption tracked via meter readings or invoices from global offices. No significant water pollution risk, industrial discharge, or water-intensive processes. No quantified water reduction targets or stewardship programme documented. Office-based business with ~2,400 employees; physical water impact minimal.

Net Zero CO2 by 2050 stated as informal aspiration without credible pathway. Claims formal SBTi commitment but no validation on SBTi Target Dashboard. Only quantified target is 2.5% relative (intensity) reduction from PAS2060 period. Carbon neutral status maintained via offsets, not reduction-first.

Annual Sustainability Addendum published with ISAE 3410 limited assurance on GHG metrics. SECR-compliant UK listing. TCFD-aligned climate risk disclosure included. Sustainability Steering Committee provides oversight. GRI reporting evidenced. No executive compensation linked to sustainability targets; addendum separate from annual report.

No environmental controversies, greenwashing rulings, or credible NGO criticism identified. CFD and derivatives broker with no lending book, insurance portfolio, or fossil fuel project underwriting. No material complicity in fossil fuel capital formation. No active climate lobbying or anti-climate trade association membership evidenced.
