Nlight's reported carbon emissions

Nlight, headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their sustainability initiatives. As of now, Nlight has not inherited any emissions data from a parent company, nor do they have any cascading targets from organisations such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). This lack of data suggests that Nlight may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments or reporting practices. In the context of the industry, it is essential for companies like Nlight to establish clear emissions reduction targets and engage in transparent reporting to align with global climate goals and enhance their sustainability profile.
