Brocade Communications Systems LLC's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Broadcom Inc.

Brocade Communications Systems LLC, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Broadcom Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Brocade's climate initiatives are linked to its parent company, Broadcom Inc., which has established science-based targets (SBTi) for emissions reduction. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Brocade itself are not detailed in the available data. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that Brocade may rely on the broader corporate strategies set by Broadcom. As a subsidiary, Brocade's climate commitments may be aligned with those of Broadcom, which is actively engaged in sustainability efforts. However, without specific emissions data or reduction targets from Brocade, it is challenging to assess its individual impact on climate change. In summary, while Brocade Communications Systems LLC is part of a larger corporate family with potential climate commitments, it currently lacks specific emissions data and defined reduction targets.
