GNC Holdings, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

GNC Holdings, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, 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 reporting practices. As of now, GNC Holdings 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 commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Given the absence of direct emissions data and reduction targets, it is essential for GNC Holdings to consider adopting industry-standard climate initiatives to enhance its sustainability profile. This could include setting measurable targets for reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy, and other indirect emissions in the value chain, respectively. In summary, while GNC Holdings, Inc. does not currently report specific carbon emissions or reduction targets, its affiliation with Harbin Pharmaceutical Group may provide a framework for future climate commitments and initiatives.
