Nasdaq Sustainability
Supplier Sustainability
At Nasdaq, we are committed to catalyzing progress toward a more inclusive and sustainable tomorrow.
To create a sustainable economy through inclusive partnerships, Nasdaq seeks suppliers that align with our corporate mission and purpose.
Responsible Workplace Practices
Human Rights
Nasdaq supports fundamental human rights—both inside and outside our company—and demonstrates our commitment by enacting responsible workplace practices across our global enterprise. We screen suppliers against regulatory actions and enforcements indicating violations of human rights laws. We expect suppliers to follow all applicable laws and conduct themselves according to our published Human Rights Practice Statement.
Engagement & Education
Environmental Sustainability
We are committed to continuing our sustainability efforts at Nasdaq, leading the shift towards more sustainable and inclusive capital markets that serve all stakeholders. We engage with and educate our stakeholders on climate risks and opportunities, providing sustainability-focused solutions that help clients achieve their objectives.
Our Commitment
Emission Reduction
Our near- and long-term science-based emission reduction targets were approved by the SBTi in 2022. In addition, SBTi validated and published our 2050 net-zero science-based target. All of our targets are gross targets validated to absolute contraction and are aligned to 1.5 degrees Celsius targets.
In 2023, we updated our base year with the SBTi to 2022 to more accurately represent Nasdaq’s diverse and growing business operations. Our validated science-based targets are the focus of our net-zero program. As we work to implement initiatives to reduce our overall GHG emissions and transition to a net-zero company, we will aim to neutralize our remaining emissions.
Find out how suppliers can set their own science-based targets at sciencebasedtargets.org.
Supplier Environmental Performance
Monitoring Key Suppliers
In addition to expanding our own sustainability efforts, we intend to monitor our key suppliers' environmental performance and climate resilience and encourage them to adopt strategies in line with our Environmental Practices Statement.

CDP Supply Chain Partnership
Nasdaq is a CDP Supply Chain member. We engage with suppliers through CDP’s program, encouraging them to disclose environmental data through CDP questionnaires. This data helps Nasdaq identify risks, opportunities, and drive action to improve sustainability.
