Cosan Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Cosan S.A.

Cosan Limited, headquartered in Brazil, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a merged entity that inherits emissions data from its parent organization, Cosan S.A., at a cascade level of 1. However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been documented for Cosan Limited. In the context of climate commitments, Cosan Limited's initiatives may align with broader industry standards, but specific details regarding Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or other reduction initiatives are not available. The lack of reported emissions data and defined reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the process of establishing its climate strategy or reporting framework. As a merged entity, Cosan Limited's climate performance may reflect the practices and commitments of Cosan S.A., but without explicit data or targets, it is challenging to assess their current impact on carbon emissions or their future climate commitments.
