CAS's reported carbon emissions

CAS currently does not have available carbon emissions data or specific reduction targets. Without concrete figures or commitments, it is unclear how CAS is addressing its carbon footprint or contributing to climate action. The absence of emissions data suggests that the organisation may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, it is essential for CAS to establish measurable targets and transparent reporting to align with global climate goals.
