3Com Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from HP Inc.

3Com Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of HP Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As part of its corporate family relationship with HP Inc., 3Com Corporation may align with the sustainability initiatives and targets set by its parent company. However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been documented for 3Com Corporation itself. Given the absence of direct emissions data and reduction initiatives, it is essential to note that 3Com's climate commitments may be informed by the broader strategies of HP Inc., which is known for its efforts in sustainability and carbon reduction.
