Converse's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from NIKE, Inc.

As of the latest available data, Converse does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of detailed emissions data for the most recent year. However, it is important to note that Converse is a current subsidiary of NIKE, Inc., and therefore, its climate commitments and initiatives are influenced by its parent company's strategies. Converse's climate commitments are aligned with those of NIKE, Inc., which has set ambitious targets to reduce carbon emissions across its operations. These initiatives include participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), where NIKE has established reduction targets that cascade down to Converse. Additionally, NIKE is involved in various climate-related initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and the RE100, which aim to enhance transparency and promote renewable energy usage. While specific reduction targets for Converse are not detailed, the overarching commitment from NIKE suggests a focus on significant emissions reductions across all scopes, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass the majority of a company's carbon footprint in the apparel industry. In summary, while Converse does not provide specific emissions data or reduction targets, it operates under the climate commitments and initiatives set forth by NIKE, Inc., reflecting a broader industry trend towards sustainability and carbon neutrality.
