SanDisk LLC's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Western Digital Corporation

SanDisk LLC, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of Western Digital Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While SanDisk LLC does not have its own documented reduction targets or climate pledges, it is important to note that any relevant initiatives or targets may be cascaded from its parent company, Western Digital Corporation. This includes potential commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and other climate-related frameworks, although specific details on these targets are not provided. In the context of the broader industry, companies like SanDisk are increasingly expected to adopt robust climate strategies and transparency in emissions reporting. As part of the technology sector, which is under scrutiny for its environmental impact, SanDisk's future commitments and performance in reducing carbon emissions will be critical for aligning with global sustainability goals.
