The company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor has it committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The trend in emissions indicates a need for further action to align with global climate goals, as the company has not set formal reduction targets. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data suggests a potential area for future reporting and improvement. Overall, Rit Capital Partners is positioned to enhance its climate commitments and transparency in emissions reporting.
