Jefferies Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: JEF) announced the
publication of our 2024 Sustainability Report, which can be viewed
here. Our report highlights how Jefferies’ team of driven
professionals is advancing key initiatives related to
sustainability and diversity that strengthen the many global
communities in which we live and work.
Rich Handler, our CEO, and Brian Friedman, our President,
commented: “This report shares the many ways we continued to make
progress this past year in support of the principles of
‘long-termism’ we have always prioritized for the benefit of our
employees, clients, investors, bondholders and other stakeholders.
Although there is always more to do, we are inspired by our team’s
relentless commitment to supporting sustainability. We hope you
take some time to read about how that commitment translates into
action.”
Among the highlights from Jefferies’ 2024 Sustainability Report
are the following:
- Over $22 million was donated by Jefferies, our
employee-partners, and clients in support of over 445 charities,
organizations and nonprofits, including those providing
humanitarian aid and support to the Maui wildfires and Israel.
- Our top-ranked global Sustainability and Transition Strategy
Team engages with clients across this dynamic and important area
for corporate and financial services, including through a wide
range of dedicated expert panels, fireside chats, and other
thematic events. In 2023, over 14,000 client touchpoints were
facilitated through 180 unique events relating to ESG
globally.
- We disclosed our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and measured seven
categories of Scope 3 emissions. We purchased renewable energy
credits (RECs) to address emissions associated with grid
electricity and carbon offsets to mitigate our remaining Scope 1,
2, and 3 emissions.
- We engaged Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT), a
nonprofit organization committed to advancing racial equity, to
help us enhance our ongoing efforts to increase diversity at
Jefferies.
