Fontaine Truck Equipment Company's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Palfinger AG

Fontaine Truck Equipment Company, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Palfinger AG, which cascades its emissions data and climate commitments down to Fontaine. As such, any climate initiatives or targets would be derived from Palfinger AG's strategies. Palfinger AG has established various climate commitments, including science-based targets (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, Fontaine Truck Equipment Company has not set its own distinct reduction targets or climate pledges at this time. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives indicates that Fontaine is still in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As part of the broader industry context, Fontaine Truck Equipment Company is expected to align with the sustainability goals set by its parent company, Palfinger AG, which is actively working towards reducing its carbon footprint and enhancing its environmental performance.
