Sustainability Reports and Policies
We regularly report on our sustainability actions and progress toward our sustainability commitments. This section of our website serves as our “Corporate Responsibility Report,” providing updates on our efforts. See our Investor Relations webpages with governance disclosures for more information. Our Materiality Assessment highlights our corporate sustainability priorities.

Environmental sustainability metrics
1 CO2e is a unit used to express the global warming potential of different greenhouse gases as a single figure, namely the equivalent amount or concentration of carbon dioxide.
2 MSCI has established a restatement policy of adjusting historical emissions data (including base-year emissions) to account for significant changes, including structural changes, calculation methodology changes or changes relating to the discovery of a significant error or a number of cumulative errors that are collectively significant, in all cases in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. We may also choose to recalculate historical emissions data for changes that we deem to significantly improve accuracy, in particular when structural changes occur.
3 During our 2024 emissions calculation process, we updated our emissions calculation methodology. Given the magnitude of these updates, we are recalculating our historical emissions in accordance with our GHG Protocol–based restatement policy. Until the recalculation is complete and assured, previously published emissions figures may differ from the final values and should not be used for trend analysis or target progress assessments without reference to the updated dataset, which we expect to publish in our 2026 reporting.
