Let us know if this data was useful to you
Distant Lands, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Ito En, Ltd., and any emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from this parent organisation. Distant Lands has not outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives in its own right. However, it is important to note that the climate commitments and performance metrics may be influenced by the sustainability strategies of Ito En, Ltd., which operates at a higher corporate level. This includes potential targets set under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and disclosures made to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are cascaded to Distant Lands at a second level. As of now, Distant Lands has not publicly committed to specific climate pledges or reduction initiatives, leaving a gap in its climate action narrative. The company’s future climate strategy may align with the broader goals of its parent company, Ito En, Ltd., which is known for its commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon footprints across its operations.
