IronPlanet, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from RB Global, Inc.

IronPlanet, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company is a current subsidiary of RB Global, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. While IronPlanet, Inc. has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be cascaded from its parent company, RB Global, Inc. This relationship suggests that IronPlanet may align with broader corporate sustainability goals established by RB Global. As of now, IronPlanet, Inc. has not publicly committed to any specific climate pledges or initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The lack of detailed emissions data and reduction targets indicates that the company may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy. In summary, while IronPlanet, Inc. does not currently report specific emissions figures or reduction commitments, its affiliation with RB Global, Inc. may provide a framework for future climate action and sustainability efforts.
