First Data Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Fiserv, Inc.

First Data Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is part of a corporate family relationship with Fiserv, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. As a merged entity, First Data Corporation's climate initiatives and reduction targets are likely aligned with those of Fiserv, Inc. However, no specific reduction targets or achievements have been disclosed, nor are there any commitments to initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) that are directly attributed to First Data. Given the lack of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives, it is unclear how First Data Corporation is addressing its carbon footprint. The company may benefit from leveraging the sustainability strategies of its parent organisation, Fiserv, Inc., to enhance its climate commitments in the future.
