Garan's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Garan, headquartered in the US, reported no specific carbon emissions data, as it has not disclosed Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Garan Inc., with emissions data potentially inherited from its parent company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., at a cascade level of 3. Garan has not set any formal reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a lack of publicly available commitments towards emissions reduction. However, the company has reported an emissions intensity of approximately 2.856 kg CO2e for recycled polyester, reflecting its engagement in sustainable practices within its operations. As Garan continues to navigate its climate commitments, it remains essential for the organisation to establish clear emissions reduction targets and enhance transparency in its sustainability reporting to align with industry standards and expectations.
