Carnival UK's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Carnival plc

Carnival UK, a subsidiary of Carnival plc, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the latest year, as no emissions figures are available. The company is part of a broader corporate family that may have emissions data cascaded from its parent organization, Carnival (UK) Limited. However, details regarding specific emissions figures, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, are not disclosed. In terms of climate commitments, Carnival UK has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives. The absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As a current subsidiary of Carnival plc, any climate initiatives or commitments would likely align with the overarching goals of the parent company. However, without specific data or commitments from Carnival UK, it is challenging to provide a comprehensive overview of their carbon emissions and climate strategies.
