NOS's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Sonae, SGPS, S.A.

NOS, headquartered in Portugal (PT), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. As a current subsidiary of Sonae, SGPS, S.A., any emissions data would be inherited from this parent company. However, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges specific to NOS at this time. The absence of direct emissions data and reduction initiatives indicates that NOS may rely on the broader sustainability strategies and commitments of Sonae, SGPS, S.A. This corporate family relationship suggests that any climate commitments or performance metrics would be aligned with those of Sonae, which may include industry-standard practices and targets. As NOS continues to navigate its environmental responsibilities, it is essential to monitor any future disclosures or commitments that may emerge from its parent company or through its own initiatives.
