Inherited from Carnival plc

Carnival UK, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have available emissions data for the most recent year. As a current subsidiary of Carnival (UK) Limited, it inherits its climate performance metrics from its parent company, Carnival plc. While specific carbon emissions figures are not disclosed, Carnival plc has made significant climate commitments aimed at reducing its environmental impact. However, no specific reduction targets or initiatives have been outlined for Carnival UK at this time. The company is part of a broader industry movement towards sustainability, with many organisations setting ambitious targets to reduce carbon emissions and enhance climate resilience.
