TP ICAP Group, a leading electronic market infrastructure and information provider, has announced a new set of ESG targets, including a commitment to being Net Zero by 2026 across its Scope 1 (direct emissions from its own operations) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions including purchased/acquired electricity).

In addition to the Net Zero commitment, TP ICAP also commits to increasing its gender representation of the non-broking employee base from 34% to 38% by the end of 2025 and to incorporating mandatory ESG scoring into the evaluation and approval process for any new business initiative.  

The ESG targets are an important part of the business’ ambition to be the broker for the transition to an inclusive and low carbon economy. Focused on areas of improvement most material to TP ICAP, these targets will be reported on annually. 

The move follows a materiality assessment that established an ESG reporting framework comprising the 15 disclosure areas most relevant to the business. TP ICAP has also formed a Group ESG Forum, reporting into the Executive Committee, to oversee progress and advance the Group’s sustainability strategy.

Nicolas Breteau, Chief Executive of TP ICAP, commented, “The climate crisis and inequality are perhaps the greatest challenges of our time. Tackling these challenges requires every government, business and individual to play their part.

“Our ambition is to be the broker for the transition and these new targets mark a significant step forward in that journey. By working in partnership with our clients, colleagues, suppliers and investors, we can deploy our strengths as a business to accelerate the move to a low carbon and socially inclusive future.”
