Pivotal Software, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from VMware LLC

Pivotal Software, Inc., 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 VMware LLC, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While Pivotal Software has not established its own reduction targets, it is important to note that it inherits sustainability initiatives from VMware LLC, which operates under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This relationship suggests that Pivotal may align its climate strategies with those of VMware, although specific targets or achievements have not been disclosed. Additionally, emissions data may also be cascaded from Broadcom Inc., the parent company of VMware, which could further inform Pivotal's climate commitments. However, without explicit emissions data or reduction targets from Pivotal Software, the company's current climate impact remains unclear. In summary, Pivotal Software, Inc. is positioned within a corporate family that prioritises climate action, but lacks specific emissions reporting and reduction commitments at this time.
