Aerojet Rocketdyne, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from L3Harris Technologies, Inc.

Aerojet Rocketdyne, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years, as indicated by the absence of reported emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While Aerojet Rocketdyne has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), it is important to note that its climate commitments may be aligned with those of its parent company, L3Harris Technologies, Inc. This relationship suggests that any climate strategies or performance metrics could be cascaded from L3Harris, which is actively engaged in sustainability efforts. As of now, Aerojet Rocketdyne has not publicly disclosed any significant climate pledges or reduction initiatives. The absence of emissions data and specific targets highlights a potential area for improvement in transparency and accountability regarding their environmental impact.
