Gorton's's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Nissui Corporation

Gorton's, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Gorton's, Inc., and emissions data may be inherited from its parent company, Nissui Corporation, at a cascade level of 2. However, no specific emissions figures or reduction targets have been disclosed. In terms of climate commitments, Gorton's has not outlined any specific reduction initiatives or targets, including those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented climate pledges or reduction strategies indicates a potential area for development in their sustainability efforts. As Gorton's operates within the seafood industry, it is essential for the company to consider establishing measurable climate goals and transparent reporting practices to align with industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
