Their climate commitments appear to be limited, with no significant pledges or documented reduction strategies available. The company’s emissions intensity for Scope 2 has varied, with a reported intensity of about 36.60 kg CO2e per square foot in 2023, compared to approximately 29.06 kg CO2e per square foot in 2022. This indicates a growing carbon footprint relative to their operational scale.
