ARD currently does not have available carbon emissions data or specific reduction targets. Without concrete figures or commitments, it is unclear how ARD is addressing its carbon footprint or contributing to climate action. The absence of emissions data suggests a need for transparency and accountability in their environmental strategies. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, ARD may benefit from establishing clear climate commitments and measurable reduction initiatives to align with global climate goals.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
ARD is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
