Despite these reductions, Yahsat has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they joined any formal climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have established a comprehensive strategy for long-term climate commitments. Yahsat's emissions intensity per employee has varied, with figures indicating a GHG emissions intensity of approximately 14,380 kg CO2e per employee in 2023. This metric highlights the company's ongoing efforts to manage its carbon footprint relative to its workforce. Overall, while Yahsat has made progress in reducing its emissions, further commitments and strategies may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate action.
