As of the latest available data, Linde Group does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of recent emissions data in kg CO2e. The company is a merged entity, and emissions data may be inherited from its parent company, Linde plc, which operates under a corporate family relationship. Linde Group has not outlined specific reduction targets or commitments through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This absence of defined targets suggests that while the company may be engaged in climate initiatives, specific measurable goals have not been publicly disclosed. In the context of the industry, Linde Group is expected to align with broader climate commitments and sustainability practices, but without concrete data or targets, the specifics of their climate strategy remain unclear.
