The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as per the latest data, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. Bid's emissions data reflects a commitment to transparency, with disclosures across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. However, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while the company is monitoring its carbon footprint, it may need to enhance its climate action strategy to align with industry standards and expectations.
