Robert B. Somerville Co. Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd

Robert B. Somerville Co. Limited, headquartered in CA, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, Robert B. Somerville Co. Limited has not established any documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy.
