Iridium Satellite LLC's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Iridium Communications Inc.

Iridium Satellite LLC, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Iridium Communications Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from Iridium Satellite LLC, it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from its parent company, Iridium Communications Inc. This cascading of data suggests that any climate initiatives or commitments may align with those of the parent organisation. As of now, Iridium Satellite LLC has not established any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other significant climate commitments. The lack of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives highlights a potential area for improvement in transparency and accountability regarding climate impact.
