Carefree/Scott Fetzer Company's reported carbon emissions

Carefree/Scott Fetzer Company, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., which may influence its climate strategies and commitments. Despite the lack of specific emissions data, Carefree/Scott Fetzer Company has not publicly outlined any reduction targets or climate pledges. This absence of defined initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As a subsidiary, Carefree/Scott Fetzer Company may benefit from the broader sustainability initiatives and targets set by its parent company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
