Despite the significant emissions figures, Kcom has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company has disclosed emissions data for all three scopes, demonstrating transparency in its reporting. Kcom's commitment to sustainability is evident, although further details on specific reduction strategies or targets would enhance its climate action profile.
