Northern Trust's Commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance Disclosures

Northern Trust is committed to transparent disclosures of our global corporate social responsibility efforts. Since 2010, we have published an annual Corporate Social Responsibility Report to share with stakeholders our progress on achieving our goals pertaining to environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters.  In addition, we’ve published a greenhouse gas emissions statement annually for over 10 years and most recently published our first Statement on Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Emissions for the year ended December 31, 2019, aligned to the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and summarizing our overall approach and next steps as we move forward.

In the summer of 2021, we commit to publishing a 2020 SASB Report to continue to demonstrate our commitment to SASB. This report will be in addition to our 2020 Corporate Social Responsibility Report, using the Global Reporting Initiative Standards. These disclosures will also serve updates on how we’re incorporating the recommendations of TCFD into our risk management process.

Recognizing the importance of industry-wide ESG assessments, since 2006, Northern Trust has been included in the FTSE4Good Global Index and has self-disclosed to Dow Jones Sustainability Index since 2011.  Most recently Northern Trust was named to the CDP A list.
