Premier Farnell UK Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Avnet, Inc.

Premier Farnell UK Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Avnet, Inc., which cascades emissions data and climate commitments down through its corporate family relationship. As of now, Premier Farnell has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction initiatives or commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Given the context of its parent company, Avnet, Inc., it is important to note that any climate-related initiatives or targets may be influenced by the broader corporate policies and sustainability goals set at the parent level. However, specific details regarding these initiatives have not been disclosed for Premier Farnell UK Limited. In summary, while Premier Farnell UK Limited is part of a larger corporate structure that may have climate commitments, it currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets.
