Kar's Nuts's reported carbon emissions

Kar's Nuts, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Kar's Nuts, Inc., and does not inherit emissions data from a parent organisation. In terms of climate commitments, there are no documented reduction targets or initiatives such as Science-Based Targets (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of specific data suggests that Kar's Nuts may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy.
