Despite these figures, LKQ Europe has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. There are no documented SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets or other climate pledges currently in place. The emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, indicating that these figures are independently reported by LKQ Europe. Overall, LKQ Europe is positioned within the automotive parts industry, which is increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon reduction, yet it currently lacks formal commitments to reduce its carbon footprint.
