Echo has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action. As the company continues to operate within the logistics sector, it is essential for Echo to enhance its sustainability strategies and set measurable goals to mitigate its environmental impact.
