Knowles Corporation's reported carbon emissions

In 2012, Knowles Corporation reported emissions data indicating a revenue of approximately $1.12 billion, with emissions per million USD revenue calculated at about 1.909 kg CO2e. However, specific emissions figures for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 are not disclosed, and there are no reported reduction targets or climate pledges from the company. As of now, Knowles Corporation does not inherit emissions data from any parent company, and there are no significant climate commitments or initiatives outlined in their current reporting. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction targets suggests that the company may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations.
