GKN Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Melrose Industries PLC

GKN Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Melrose Industries PLC, which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. As of now, GKN Limited has not specified any reduction targets or initiatives related to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the process of developing its climate strategy or reporting framework. Given the lack of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives, it is essential for GKN Limited to establish clear climate commitments and measurable targets to align with industry standards and expectations. This would not only enhance transparency but also contribute to broader efforts in reducing carbon emissions across the manufacturing sector.
