Cogeco has not set specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) nor has it committed to any documented reduction initiatives. The absence of formal climate pledges indicates a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. Overall, while Cogeco's emissions data reflects a substantial carbon footprint, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests that the company may need to enhance its climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations.
