Exelis Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from L3Harris Technologies, Inc.

Exelis Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While Exelis Inc. has not established its own reduction targets or climate pledges, it inherits initiatives and performance metrics from its parent company, L3Harris Technologies, Inc.
