Bayer CropScience Aktiengesellschaft's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Bayer Aktiengesellschaft

Bayer CropScience Aktiengesellschaft, headquartered in Germany (DE), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. However, the company is part of a broader corporate family, with emissions data and climate commitments cascaded from its parent company, Bayer Aktiengesellschaft. Bayer Aktiengesellschaft has set ambitious climate targets, which include commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across its operations. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are part of a comprehensive strategy to address climate change. The company is actively engaged in initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and the Climate Pledge, which further demonstrate its commitment to sustainability. As a current subsidiary of Bayer Aktiengesellschaft, Bayer CropScience is expected to adhere to these overarching climate commitments, although specific reduction targets or achievements for Bayer CropScience itself have not been disclosed. The absence of direct emissions data highlights the need for ongoing transparency and accountability in corporate climate strategies.
