Premier Farnell Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Avnet, Inc.

Premier Farnell Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as no figures are available. The company is a current subsidiary of Avnet, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. As of now, Premier Farnell Limited has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of specific data and commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Given its position within the corporate family of Avnet, Inc., it is essential to consider the broader context of Avnet's sustainability efforts, which may indirectly impact Premier Farnell's climate actions. However, without specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is challenging to assess the company's current environmental impact or future commitments.
