As of the latest reporting, Play has not disclosed specific carbon emissions data, indicating a lack of available figures for their Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. The absence of emissions data suggests that Play may be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments or reporting practices. However, Play is a current subsidiary of Iliad S.A., which has established climate initiatives and targets. Emissions data and reduction targets may be inherited from Iliad S.A., which operates at a cascade level of 2. This relationship implies that Play's climate strategy could align with the broader commitments made by Iliad S.A. regarding carbon emissions reduction. While specific reduction targets for Play are not available, Iliad S.A. has engaged in various sustainability initiatives, including participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). These initiatives aim to set ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with climate science. In summary, while Play currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets, its affiliation with Iliad S.A. suggests potential alignment with industry-standard climate commitments and initiatives. Further transparency and reporting from Play would be beneficial to understand its specific climate impact and commitments.
