Kia America, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Kia Corporation

Kia America, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Kia Corporation, which influences its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As a part of its corporate family, Kia America, Inc. inherits emissions data and sustainability initiatives from Kia Corporation. Kia Corporation has made significant strides in addressing climate change, including participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and commitments to renewable energy initiatives. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Kia America, Inc. have not been disclosed.
