Export Processing Zones Authority's reported carbon emissions

The Export Processing Zones Authority (EPZA) in Kenya currently does not have available data on carbon emissions, as no specific emissions figures have been provided. Consequently, there are no documented reduction targets or climate commitments outlined by the authority. In the absence of concrete emissions data, it is essential to note that many organisations in similar sectors are increasingly focusing on sustainability and climate action. This includes setting science-based targets for emissions reductions and committing to various climate pledges. However, without specific information from the EPZA, it is unclear what initiatives or commitments they may have in place regarding carbon emissions and climate change mitigation. As the global emphasis on reducing carbon footprints intensifies, it is crucial for entities like the EPZA to establish clear climate strategies and transparent reporting on emissions to align with industry standards and contribute to broader environmental goals.
