As of the latest available data, A.S. Watson's carbon emissions information is not specified, indicating a lack of reported emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of A.S. Watson Retail (HK) Ltd and inherits emissions data from its parent organisation, CK Hutchison Holdings Limited, at a cascade level of 2. Currently, A.S. Watson does not have documented reduction targets or climate pledges, which suggests a need for further commitment to climate action. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives highlights a potential gap in their sustainability strategy. As a subsidiary, A.S. Watson's climate commitments may align with broader initiatives from CK Hutchison Holdings Limited, but specific details on these initiatives are not provided. The company is encouraged to establish clear emissions reporting and reduction targets to enhance its environmental accountability and contribute to global climate goals.
