Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (AMP) — ESG & Values Scores

Environment story

Ameriprise discloses minimal direct environmental metrics. No Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data appears in 10-K; net-zero target year undisclosed; no verified physical decarbonization infrastructure investments documented. Climate-change risk acknowledged as material (supply-chain transition, real-estate portfolio, investor sentiment impacts), but quantitative mitigation targets absent. Greenwashing flag: company emphasizes asset-management climate capabilities and CSR reporting but does not quantify own operational carbon footprint or supply-chain emissions, capping environmental score at 55 per rubric.
