Catamaran Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from UnitedHealth Group Incorporated

Catamaran Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated, which cascades its climate commitments and emissions data down to Catamaran. While no direct emissions data is available, Catamaran Corporation aligns with the climate initiatives of its parent company, UnitedHealth Group. This includes adherence to Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) standards and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Catamaran Corporation itself have not been disclosed. As part of its corporate family, Catamaran is expected to follow the sustainability and emissions reduction strategies set forth by UnitedHealth Group, which may include commitments to reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. The absence of specific data highlights the need for further transparency in reporting emissions and climate commitments at the subsidiary level.
