RSM Canada's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from RSM International Ltd.

RSM Canada currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The organisation is a current subsidiary of RSM International Ltd., which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. While RSM Canada has not outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives, it is part of a broader corporate family that may have established climate strategies. The lack of detailed emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that RSM Canada is still in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. As a subsidiary, RSM Canada may align its sustainability efforts with those of RSM International Ltd., which could include participation in industry-standard initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, specific details regarding these initiatives or any cascading targets from the parent organisation are not provided. In summary, RSM Canada is currently without specific emissions data or defined climate commitments, reflecting a potential area for future development in sustainability practices within the organisation.
