Government Employees Insurance Company's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, Government Employees Insurance Company (GEICO) does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of publicly disclosed emissions data. The company is a current subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. GEICO has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other recognised frameworks. Additionally, there are no documented climate pledges or reduction initiatives available in the public domain. Given its corporate structure, any climate commitments or emissions data may be inherited from its parent company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., which operates under its own sustainability and emissions reduction strategies. However, without specific emissions data or targets from GEICO, it is challenging to assess its individual climate impact or commitments. In summary, while GEICO is part of a larger corporate family that may have climate initiatives, it currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets, making it difficult to evaluate its environmental performance independently.
