This indicates a significant increase in emissions from 2021 to 2022. Curro has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that they may not yet be aligned with industry-standard climate action frameworks. The emissions data is sourced directly from Curro Holdings Limited, with no cascaded data from a parent or related organization. As Curro continues to operate in the educational sector, addressing their carbon footprint will be crucial for aligning with global sustainability goals.
