Cavendish Nuclear Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Babcock International Group PLC

Cavendish Nuclear Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Babcock International Group PLC, which means that any emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from this parent organization. As of now, Cavendish Nuclear Limited has not publicly disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may be relying on the broader commitments and strategies of Babcock International Group PLC, which is known for its efforts in sustainability and climate action. Cavendish Nuclear Limited's climate commitments and performance metrics are likely aligned with those of Babcock International Group PLC, which has set various targets under initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, specific details regarding these targets and their impact on Cavendish Nuclear's operations are not available at this time. In summary, while Cavendish Nuclear Limited is part of a larger corporate family with potential climate commitments, specific emissions data and reduction initiatives for the company itself are currently not disclosed.
