Aktiebolaget Volvo Penta's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from AB Volvo (publ)

Aktiebolaget Volvo Penta, headquartered in Sweden (SE), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. As a current subsidiary of AB Volvo (publ), any emissions data or climate commitments would be inherited from this parent company. Volvo Penta has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. However, it is important to note that the climate commitments and performance metrics may be aligned with those of AB Volvo (publ), which is actively engaged in sustainability efforts and has set ambitious targets for reducing carbon emissions across its operations. As of now, without specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is unclear how Aktiebolaget Volvo Penta is progressing towards its climate commitments. The company may benefit from the overarching sustainability strategies implemented by its parent organisation, which could influence its own environmental performance in the future.
