Rent-A-Center Franchising International Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Upbound Group, Inc.

Rent-A-Center Franchising International Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Upbound Group, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Rent-A-Center Franchising International Inc. This lack of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Given the absence of direct emissions figures, it is important to note that Rent-A-Center's climate commitments may be aligned with broader industry standards and practices, particularly those set by its parent company, Upbound Group, Inc. However, without specific data or targets, it is challenging to assess the company's environmental impact or progress in reducing carbon emissions. In summary, Rent-A-Center Franchising International Inc. currently lacks detailed emissions data and formal reduction targets, reflecting a potential area for future development in its sustainability efforts.
