General Nutrition Centers, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd.

General Nutrition Centers, Inc. (GNC), headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, GNC has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives related to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of specific emissions data and reduction commitments suggests that GNC may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Given the absence of direct emissions figures, it is essential to consider the broader context of the health and nutrition industry, where companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon footprint reduction. GNC's parent company, Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd., may have its own climate initiatives that could impact GNC's future commitments and performance in this area. In summary, while GNC currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets, its affiliation with Harbin Pharmaceutical Group may provide a pathway for future climate action and sustainability efforts.
