Morgan Stanley finances fossil fuels at scale ($82.4B since 2021, $27B in 2024) while claiming net-zero commitments. Operational emissions rose 13.55% year-on-year. Financed emissions dominate but remain incompletely quantified. Targets lack SBTi validation and fossil fuel expansion contradicts decarbonization claims.
