Jefferies has a strong environment sustainability strategy, with a focus on reducing emissions and offsetting them as a near-term mitigation strategy. Jefferies' latest filings mentioned the keywords 'Emissions' and 'Carbon' most number of times in relation to 'Climate Change'.

The company has already taken steps to reduce its energy usage, including improving power station efficiency, increasing the contribution of renewable energy, and implementing artificial intelligence to optimize energy usage. Jefferies has also completed a Greenhouse Gas Assessment to determine Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and set a foundation for carbon reduction efforts. The company plans on increasing energy efficiency, pursuing its 100% renewable electricity goal, and supporting the development of new technologies and projects that can help reduce emissions. Jefferies is committed to 100% renewable energy and plans to continue emissions reduction targets in 2023 to ensure that its own operations are on course to reduce emissions commensurate with what scientists and the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report say is essential to limit warming to around 1.5°C.

Jefferies's 2022 greenhouse gas emissions will be reported later in 2023. In 2021, the company's total Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions location-based were 10,579 metric tons of CO2e, while its total Scope 3 emissions were 6,909 metric tons of CO2e. Jefferies has offset its remaining market-based Scope 2 emissions using carbon credits. The company has invested in various sustainable projects, including Archaea Energy, Carbon Clean, Foresight Sustainable Forestry, and Meyer Burger, to accelerate the transition to a net-zero world.

Jefferies has committed to offsetting by supporting projects and technologies available today that can help avoid carbon emissions in the atmosphere. The company has organized various events, including Jefferies' Renewable Energy Conference and Jefferies' Offshore Wind Contractors Summit, to consider perspectives across the renewable energy value chain.

In conclusion, Jefferies is focused on lowering its carbon footprint and has taken steps to reduce its energy usage and invest in sustainable projects. The company plans on increasing energy efficiency, pursuing its 100% renewable electricity goal, and supporting the development of new technologies and projects that can help reduce emissions.
