HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt GmbH's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from HSBC Continental Europe S.A., Germany

HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt GmbH, headquartered in Germany, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. The company is a current subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc, which influences its climate commitments and initiatives. While HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt GmbH does not have its own documented reduction targets, it inherits climate-related initiatives from its parent company, HSBC Holdings plc. This includes participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and commitments under the RE100 initiative, both of which are cascaded from the parent organisation. These initiatives aim to enhance transparency and drive progress towards sustainability within the financial sector. As a part of the broader HSBC corporate family, HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt GmbH aligns with industry-standard climate commitments, although specific targets and achievements at the subsidiary level remain unspecified. The absence of detailed emissions data highlights the need for ongoing efforts in climate accountability and transparency within the organisation.
