Pointe Scientific, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from HORIBA, Ltd.

Pointe Scientific, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of HORIBA, Ltd., and any emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from this parent organisation. As of now, Pointe Scientific, Inc. has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of specific emissions figures suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Given the lack of direct emissions data, it is essential to consider the broader context of the industry and the potential influence of its parent company, HORIBA, Ltd., on its climate initiatives. As a subsidiary, Pointe Scientific, Inc. may align its environmental strategies with those of HORIBA, which could include various sustainability initiatives and commitments to reducing carbon footprints. In summary, while Pointe Scientific, Inc. does not currently report specific emissions data or reduction targets, its relationship with HORIBA, Ltd. may provide a framework for future climate commitments and actions.
