Best Western International, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Best Western International, Inc. reported zero emissions for both Scope 1 and Scope 2, with no specific data available for Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a commitment to minimising direct and indirect emissions associated with their operations. The company has not disclosed any reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, suggesting a lack of formalised climate commitments at this time. The absence of emissions data for the previous year, 2022, further highlights the need for transparency in their environmental impact reporting. Best Western's current approach does not reflect any significant reduction achievements or specific climate strategies, which may be a point of consideration for stakeholders interested in corporate sustainability practices. Overall, while Best Western International, Inc. has reported no emissions, the lack of detailed climate commitments or reduction targets may limit their credibility in the context of industry standards for climate action.
