Drax Corporate Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Drax Group plc

Drax Corporate Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of figures in the latest emissions dataset. The company is a current subsidiary of Drax Group plc, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While Drax Corporate Limited has not outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives, it is important to note that any climate commitments or performance metrics would likely be inherited from its parent company, Drax Group plc. This includes potential targets set under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and disclosures made to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are cascaded from Drax Group plc at a level 2 relationship. As a part of the broader Drax Group, the company is expected to align with industry standards for climate action, focusing on reducing carbon emissions and enhancing sustainability practices. However, without specific data or commitments from Drax Corporate Limited itself, a detailed assessment of its carbon footprint and climate strategy remains unavailable.
