Irish Ferries Ltd's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Irish Continental Group plc

Irish Ferries Ltd, headquartered in Ireland (IE), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Irish Continental Group plc, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, Irish Ferries Ltd has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Given the context of the maritime industry, Irish Ferries Ltd is likely aware of the increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions and enhance sustainability practices. The company may benefit from aligning its efforts with industry standards and best practices to address climate change effectively.
