Rapiscan Systems, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from OSI Systems, Inc.

Rapiscan Systems, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of OSI Systems, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. As of now, Rapiscan Systems has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The lack of specific climate pledges or commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive sustainability strategy. Given the context of its parent company, OSI Systems, Inc., emissions data and climate performance may be inherited from this higher-level organisation. However, specific figures or targets from OSI Systems have not been detailed in the available information. In summary, while Rapiscan Systems, Inc. does not currently provide emissions data or reduction targets, its affiliation with OSI Systems may play a role in shaping its future climate commitments.
