Lotus Cars Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from DRB-HICOM Berhad

Lotus Cars Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of DRB-HICOM Berhad, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Lotus Cars Limited, nor are there any specific initiatives outlined in their sustainability strategy. Given the absence of direct emissions data, it is important to note that Lotus Cars Limited's climate commitments may be informed by the broader corporate strategies of its parent company, DRB-HICOM Berhad. This relationship suggests that any climate initiatives or emissions data may be cascaded from the parent organization, which operates at a higher cascade level (level 3). In summary, while Lotus Cars Limited is positioned within a corporate structure that may have climate commitments, specific emissions data and reduction targets are currently unavailable. The company’s future climate strategy will likely align with the sustainability goals set by DRB-HICOM Berhad.
