Inherited from Whirlpool Corporation

InSinkErator, Inc., headquartered in the US, 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 Whirlpool Corporation, which influences its climate commitments and reporting practices.
