Supplier Sustainability
To create a sustainable economy through inclusive partnerships, Nasdaq seeks suppliers that align with our corporate mission and purpose.
Supplier Code of Ethics
Nasdaq’s Supplier Code of Ethics reflects our extended commitment to help ensure that we retain highly qualified suppliers. Suppliers must attest to our Supplier Code of Ethics, confirming they have policies and practices consistent with ours and to the extent they do not, that they will adhere to the applicable standards in our Supplier Code of Ethics.

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.
Environmental Sustainability
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.

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.
