The International Committee of The Red Cross (ICRC), headquartered in Switzerland (CH), currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it report specific reduction targets or initiatives. As of now, there are no documented commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges.
