Genus's reported carbon emissions
Genus, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data or reduction targets. Without available figures, it is unclear how their emissions profile looks in terms of Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. However, the absence of documented reduction initiatives or climate pledges suggests that Genus may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, it will be essential for Genus to establish clear targets and strategies to address carbon emissions and contribute to global climate goals.
