New York Air Brake Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Knorr-Bremse AG

New York Air Brake Corporation, 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 Knorr-Bremse AG, which provides emissions data at a higher corporate level. As such, any climate commitments or emissions performance metrics would be inherited from Knorr-Bremse AG. At this time, New York Air Brake Corporation has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As part of the broader industry context, it is essential for companies like New York Air Brake Corporation to align with global climate goals and implement effective strategies to reduce carbon emissions. The cascading of data from Knorr-Bremse AG indicates a potential for future commitments and initiatives as the parent company continues to advance its sustainability efforts.
