K-rauta AB's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Kesko Oyj

K-rauta AB, headquartered in Sweden (SE), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Kesko Oyj, and as such, it inherits emissions data and climate commitments from its parent organisation. K-rauta AB has not publicly disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives. However, it is important to note that the climate commitments and performance metrics are cascaded from Kesko Oyj, which is actively engaged in sustainability efforts. This includes participation in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions across various scopes. As a subsidiary, K-rauta AB aligns with the broader climate strategies set forth by Kesko Oyj, which may include ambitious targets for reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. However, without specific data or targets from K-rauta AB itself, the details of these commitments remain general. In summary, while K-rauta AB does not currently report its own emissions data or specific reduction targets, it is part of a corporate family that is committed to addressing climate change through inherited initiatives and strategies from Kesko Oyj.
