This indicates a shift in their emissions profile over the years. Despite these figures, Grupo Carso has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of formal climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have committed to a structured plan for significant reductions.
