GNC Holdings, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

GNC Holdings, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. 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 Holdings has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of specific commitments suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Given the context of its parent company, Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd., GNC Holdings may inherit broader sustainability goals and practices from this corporate family. However, without explicit data or targets from GNC itself, it is challenging to assess its individual climate performance or commitments. In summary, GNC Holdings, Inc. currently lacks detailed emissions data and specific climate commitments, reflecting a potential area for future development in sustainability practices within the pharmaceutical and health supplement industry.
