This reflects a notable decrease in emissions compared to previous years, particularly from 2018, when total emissions were about 18,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have committed to any formal climate pledges. However, it is essential to note that the emissions data indicates a trend towards lower carbon intensity, with reported figures of 52 kg CO2e per unit of activity in 2020, down from 54 kg CO2e in 2018. Overall, while GRAND CENTRAL has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action in the future.
