Curro's emissions have shown fluctuations over the years, with a notable increase from 2019's total of about 26,529,000 kg CO2e to 2020's peak. However, there are no specific reduction targets or initiatives documented in their reports, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The company has not established any science-based targets or formal climate pledges, which may limit its ability to effectively address its carbon footprint in alignment with global climate goals. Overall, while Curro has made strides in reporting its emissions, further commitments and reduction strategies would enhance its sustainability profile.
