MercadoLibre S.R.L.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from MercadoLibre, Inc.

MercadoLibre S.R.L., headquartered in Argentina (AR), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of MercadoLibre, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from MercadoLibre S.R.L. However, it is important to note that any climate initiatives or targets may be inherited from its parent company, MercadoLibre, Inc. This includes potential commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are cascaded from the parent organisation. Given the absence of specific emissions data and reduction targets, MercadoLibre S.R.L. appears to be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. The company may benefit from aligning its efforts with the broader sustainability initiatives of MercadoLibre, Inc. to enhance its environmental impact and transparency in emissions reporting.
