The IBU has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The organisation's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent company, and it operates independently in its climate commitments. Overall, the IBU's emissions profile highlights the need for enhanced climate action and strategic planning to address its carbon footprint effectively.
