As of the latest reporting, Nova Bus Corporation does not have specific carbon emissions data available, indicating a lack of reported emissions figures in kg CO2e. However, the company is a current subsidiary of AB Volvo (publ), which has established significant climate commitments and reduction initiatives that may influence Nova Bus's environmental strategies. Nova Bus Corporation's climate commitments are aligned with those of its parent company, AB Volvo, which operates under various sustainability initiatives, including Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and Climate Action 100+. These initiatives aim to drive substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions across their operations. The cascading of these targets from AB Volvo suggests that Nova Bus is expected to adhere to similar sustainability goals, although specific targets for Nova Bus have not been disclosed. In summary, while Nova Bus Corporation currently lacks specific emissions data, it is positioned within a corporate framework that prioritises climate action and emissions reduction, inheriting commitments from AB Volvo (publ) at a cascade level of three.
