ISS-oekom's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Institutional Shareholder Services Inc.

ISS-oekom, headquartered in Germany (DE), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The organisation is a current subsidiary of Institutional Shareholder Services Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Despite the lack of direct emissions data, ISS-oekom is part of a broader corporate family that engages in various climate initiatives. The organisation's climate commitments are likely informed by the sustainability strategies of its parent company, Institutional Shareholder Services Inc., which operates at a cascade level of 1. This relationship may provide insights into ISS-oekom's approach to carbon emissions and climate action. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from ISS-oekom. The absence of such data suggests that the organisation may still be in the process of establishing its own distinct climate strategy or aligning with the initiatives of its parent company. In summary, while ISS-oekom does not currently provide specific emissions data or reduction targets, its affiliation with Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. may play a crucial role in shaping its future climate commitments and sustainability efforts.
