McNeil Consumer & Specialty Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Kenvue Inc.

McNeil Consumer & Specialty Pharmaceuticals Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Kenvue Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, McNeil has not publicly outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Given its affiliation with Kenvue Inc., any potential climate commitments or emissions data may be cascaded from this parent organisation. Kenvue Inc. is expected to have its own sustainability initiatives and targets, which could indirectly impact McNeil's approach to carbon emissions and climate action. In summary, while McNeil Consumer & Specialty Pharmaceuticals Inc. does not currently report specific emissions data or reduction targets, its relationship with Kenvue Inc. may play a significant role in shaping its future climate commitments.
