Novus International, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Mitsui & Co., Ltd.

Novus International, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Mitsui & Co., Ltd., and any emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from this parent organisation. As of now, Novus International has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other recognised frameworks. The lack of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. Given the context of its corporate family relationship, any future emissions data or climate strategies may align with the broader sustainability goals set by Mitsui & Co., Ltd. However, without specific targets or emissions data, it is challenging to assess Novus International's current impact or commitments in the realm of carbon emissions and climate action.
