Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Santander Holdings USA, Inc.

Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Banco Santander, S.A., and any emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from this parent organisation. As of now, Santander Consumer USA has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other recognised frameworks. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy. The emissions data and performance metrics are cascaded from Banco Santander, S.A., which may provide a broader context for understanding the climate commitments of Santander Consumer USA. However, without specific figures or targets, it is challenging to assess the company's current carbon footprint or its progress towards sustainability goals. In summary, while Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. is part of a larger corporate family with potential climate commitments, it currently lacks detailed emissions data and specific reduction initiatives.
