Let us know if this data was useful to you
Hartz, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of The Hartz Mountain Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Hartz's climate initiatives and reduction targets are inherited from its parent company, Unicharm Corporation. However, there are no specific reduction targets or achievements listed for Hartz itself. The absence of documented climate pledges or specific emissions data suggests that Hartz may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As part of its corporate family, Hartz may align with broader sustainability efforts initiated by Unicharm, which is involved in various climate-related initiatives, including SBTi and CDP commitments. However, without specific data or targets, it is challenging to assess Hartz's individual impact or commitments in the context of carbon emissions and climate action.
