Harrods Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Harrods Group (Holding) Limited

Harrods Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Harrods Group (Holding) Limited, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Harrods Limited. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Given the lack of available data, it is unclear how Harrods Limited aligns with industry standards for carbon emissions reduction or if it has adopted any specific frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company’s climate commitments and performance may be influenced by its corporate family relationship, but further details are not provided. In summary, Harrods Limited's current climate commitments and carbon emissions data remain unspecified, indicating a potential area for development in their sustainability strategy.
