Akasol AG's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from BorgWarner Inc.

Akasol AG, headquartered in Germany, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of BorgWarner Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While Akasol AG has not set its own reduction targets or disclosed specific emissions figures, it is important to note that its climate initiatives and commitments may be aligned with those of BorgWarner Inc. This includes potential targets set under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, specific details regarding these initiatives or any reduction targets have not been provided. As a subsidiary, Akasol AG's climate strategy may be informed by BorgWarner's broader sustainability goals, which could include commitments to reduce emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 categories. Without specific data or targets from Akasol AG, it is challenging to assess its individual climate performance or commitments. In summary, while Akasol AG is part of a larger corporate family with potential climate initiatives, it currently lacks publicly available emissions data and specific reduction targets.
