RobecoSAM AG's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from ORIX Corporation

RobecoSAM AG, headquartered in Switzerland (CH), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of ORIX Corporation, which may influence its climate-related initiatives and reporting. While RobecoSAM AG has not established its own reduction targets or commitments, it is important to note that it inherits climate performance data from its parent company, ORIX Corporation. This relationship may provide a framework for future climate commitments and emissions reduction strategies. As of now, RobecoSAM AG has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The lack of detailed emissions data and reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy. In summary, RobecoSAM AG's current climate commitments and carbon emissions data are not available, but its affiliation with ORIX Corporation may play a significant role in shaping its future sustainability efforts.
