MotivePower, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from MotivePower, Inc., it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from its parent company, Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation. This relationship suggests that any climate initiatives or targets may be aligned with the broader corporate strategies of the parent organisation. As of now, MotivePower, Inc. has not established specific science-based targets (SBTi) or other industry-standard reduction initiatives. The lack of detailed emissions data and reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and transparency in reporting.
