The company operates within a global context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and climate action, yet it appears to lack formal commitments such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets or other climate pledges. As a leading technology provider, Kontron's emissions profile highlights the importance of addressing carbon emissions across all scopes, particularly in the context of global climate commitments.
