Inherited from RTL Group S.A.

Rtl Deutschland GmbH, headquartered in Germany, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of figures in the latest emissions report. The company is a current subsidiary of Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA, which influences its climate commitments and targets. While Rtl Deutschland GmbH does not have its own documented reduction targets, it inherits sustainability initiatives from its parent company, Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA.

As a subsidiary of RTL Group S.A., Rtl Deutschland GmbH aligns with broader corporate sustainability goals, although specific performance metrics or reduction achievements at the subsidiary level are not disclosed. The company is expected to contribute to the overarching climate strategies set by its parent organisation, focusing on reducing emissions in line with industry standards.
