Hermes Europe's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Otto (GmbH & Co KG)

Hermes Europe GmbH, headquartered in Germany, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year. As a current subsidiary of Otto (GmbH & Co KG), any emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from this parent company. Hermes Europe has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives in its own documentation. However, it is important to note that the climate commitments and targets may be influenced by the broader sustainability strategies of Otto (GmbH & Co KG), which is known for its engagement in various climate initiatives, including the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). As of now, Hermes Europe has not disclosed any significant reduction achievements or specific emissions scopes (Scope 1, 2, or 3) in its reporting. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. In summary, while Hermes Europe GmbH is part of a larger corporate family with potential climate commitments, specific emissions data and reduction initiatives remain unspecified at this time.
