Hertz AG's reported carbon emissions

Hertz AG, headquartered in Switzerland (CH), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as no emissions figures are available. The company is a current subsidiary of Hertz AG and does not inherit emissions data from a parent organization. In terms of climate commitments, Hertz AG has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives, such as those associated with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other industry-standard climate pledges.
