The European Payments Council (EPC), headquartered in Belgium (BE), currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of figures in the latest emissions report. Furthermore, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the EPC at this time. As a result, the EPC's climate commitments and initiatives remain unspecified, and there is no inherited emissions data from a parent or related organization. The EPC's approach to sustainability and climate action is not detailed in the available information, leaving a gap in understanding their environmental impact and commitments within the payments industry.
