Heidrick & Struggles AG's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc.

Heidrick & Struggles AG, headquartered in Switzerland (CH), currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of figures in the latest emissions report. The company is a current subsidiary of Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Heidrick & Struggles AG, it is important to note that any potential initiatives or targets would likely be inherited from its parent company, Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc. This relationship suggests that the broader corporate strategies and commitments towards sustainability and emissions reduction may apply at the subsidiary level. As of now, Heidrick & Struggles AG has not disclosed specific initiatives or targets related to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate frameworks. The absence of emissions data and reduction commitments highlights a potential area for growth in corporate responsibility and environmental stewardship within the organisation.
