Cable & Wireless Communications Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Liberty Latin America Ltd.

Cable & Wireless Communications Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Liberty Latin America Ltd., which may influence its climate performance metrics. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Cable & Wireless Communications Limited. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. Given the lack of direct emissions reporting, it is essential for Cable & Wireless Communications Limited to establish clear sustainability goals and track its carbon footprint in alignment with industry standards. This would not only enhance transparency but also contribute to broader climate action efforts within the telecommunications sector.
