As of the latest available data, Disney has not publicly reported any specific carbon emissions figures or reduction targets. The company does not appear to have inherited emissions data from any parent or related organizations, nor does it have any documented climate commitments or initiatives such as Science-Based Targets (SBTi) or other industry-standard pledges. In the absence of specific emissions data, it is important to note that Disney operates within a broader industry context where many companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon reduction. However, without concrete figures or commitments, it is challenging to assess Disney's current standing in terms of carbon emissions and climate action.
