Sandisk Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Western Digital Corporation

As of the latest available data, Sandisk Corporation does not report specific carbon emissions figures. However, it is important to note that Sandisk is a current subsidiary of Western Digital Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. Western Digital Corporation, the parent company, has established various climate initiatives and targets, which may cascade down to Sandisk. These initiatives include commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Sandisk are not detailed in the available information.
