Build.Com, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Ferguson Enterprises Inc.

Build.Com, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Ferguson Enterprises Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, Build.Com, Inc. has not established any documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges. The absence of emissions data suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing its sustainability strategy or reporting framework. Given its relationship with Ferguson Enterprises Inc., any potential climate initiatives or emissions data may be inherited from this parent company. However, specific details regarding Ferguson's emissions performance or climate commitments have not been provided in the available data. In summary, while Build.Com, Inc. is part of a larger corporate family that may have climate initiatives, it currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets. The company will need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations.
