General Instrument Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from CommScope, LLC

General Instrument Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available, as indicated by the absence of reported emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of CommScope Holding Company, Inc., which means that any climate commitments or emissions data would be inherited from this parent organisation. CommScope Holding Company, Inc. has set various climate initiatives, including targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, specific reduction targets or achievements for General Instrument Corporation have not been detailed in the available data. As a subsidiary, General Instrument Corporation's climate commitments may align with those of CommScope, which is focused on reducing its overall carbon footprint and enhancing sustainability practices across its operations. The lack of direct emissions data suggests that the company is still in the process of establishing its own specific climate strategies or reporting mechanisms. In summary, while General Instrument Corporation does not currently report its own emissions or reduction targets, it is part of a corporate family that is actively engaged in climate initiatives through CommScope Holding Company, Inc.
