Orbital Sciences Corp., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Northrop Grumman Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Orbital Sciences Corp. However, emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from its parent company, Northrop Grumman Corporation, at a cascade level of 2. This means that any climate initiatives or targets set by Northrop Grumman could potentially reflect on Orbital Sciences Corp.'s environmental strategy. In the context of the aerospace and defence industry, companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and reducing their carbon footprints. While specific commitments from Orbital Sciences Corp. are not available, the overarching corporate family relationship with Northrop Grumman suggests a potential alignment with industry standards and practices aimed at addressing climate change.
