Emissions
2024 figures are under review
We have a report on file for Amex for 2024, but our extraction produced figures outside the plausible range for a single company, usually a unit error in the source document. We've held them back rather than show numbers we can't stand behind. They'll appear here once a reviewer has verified them.

How scoring works
How the Mycelium Score is calculated
The Mycelium Score is out of 10. Up to 6.5 points reflect carbon intensity vs sector peers (emissions normalised against revenue). The remaining 3.5 reflect data quality: third-party verified, profile claimed by the company, and full disclosure across all reporting categories.
A higher score means lower carbon intensity than sector peers, backed by data that's third-party verified, claimed by the company, and fully disclosed. Amex's score sits at the top of this page and in the score panel.
How the Transparency Score is calculated
The Transparency Score measures how much of a company's key emissions data is publicly disclosed, graded from A (very high) down to F (very low). Crucially, it weights each gap by how material that bucket is for the company's industry, so an undisclosed category where the bulk of emissions sit hurts far more than a minor one.
Amex has disclosed the emissions categories that are material for its industry, so there's no single bucket dragging the transparency score down. The breakdown above shows full coverage across the categories that matter most for this kind of company.

Amex carbon emissions FAQs
How transparent is Amex's emissions reporting?
Amex has a Mycelium transparency score of 17.1 out of 100. The score weights each emissions category by how material it is for the company's industry, so it reflects whether the disclosures that matter most have been made.
Is Amex sustainable?
Mycelium measures sustainability through carbon emissions data rather than giving a yes or no verdict. Amex has a Mycelium Score of 0.7 out of 10, which reflects its emissions intensity against sector peers together with how transparent and well-verified its reporting is. The emissions figures, disclosure documents and climate targets on this page give the fuller picture.
Is Amex environmentally friendly?
Carbon emissions are one measurable part of environmental impact, and the part Mycelium tracks. Amex's Mycelium Score of 0.7 out of 10 shows how that performance compares with similar companies in its sector.
