Currently, Safehold has not established any specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it inherit emissions data from a parent company. The absence of reduction initiatives indicates a potential area for future commitment to climate action. Safehold's emissions data is sourced directly from its own disclosures, ensuring transparency in its environmental impact reporting.
