Pep Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Pepkor Holdings Limited

Pep Limited, headquartered in South Africa (ZA), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Pepkor Holdings Limited, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, Pep Limited has not established any documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges. The absence of emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy.

It is essential for Pep Limited to align with industry standards and best practices in climate action to enhance its environmental performance and transparency.
