Merit Gear LLC's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation

Merit Gear LLC, 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 Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, Merit Gear LLC has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy. Given its affiliation with Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation, it is important to note that any climate initiatives or emissions data may be cascaded from this parent organisation. However, no specific emissions figures or targets have been provided from this source either. In summary, while Merit Gear LLC is part of a larger corporate family that may have climate commitments, it currently lacks detailed emissions data and defined reduction targets. The company will need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations.
