As of the latest available data, Linde Group does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of recent emissions data. The company is part of a corporate family structure, with emissions data and climate commitments cascaded from Linde plc, its parent organisation. This relationship places Linde Group at cascade level 4, meaning it inherits sustainability initiatives and targets from higher levels within the corporate hierarchy. Linde Group has not specified any reduction targets or achievements in its climate commitments. However, it is important to note that the overarching Linde plc has established various climate initiatives, including participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). These initiatives aim to align corporate strategies with global climate goals, although specific targets for Linde Group have not been detailed. In summary, while Linde Group currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets, it is integrated into a broader corporate framework that prioritises climate action and sustainability through its parent company, Linde plc.
