Man Group's own emissions are small and fell in 2025, but the investee emissions it reports rose from 5.7 to 10.4 million tCO2e, on a basis it says departs from the PCAF standard. Its Scope 3 reporting covers only leased assets and business travel, it publishes no biodiversity assessment, and its net-zero portfolio commitment leaves most key strategies out of scope.
