SCA Health's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from UnitedHealth Group Incorporated

SCA Health, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. The organisation is a current subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While SCA Health has not outlined its own reduction targets, it is important to note that any climate initiatives or targets may be cascaded from its parent company, UnitedHealth Group. This includes potential commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and other climate-related frameworks, although specific details on these initiatives are not provided. As a subsidiary, SCA Health's climate strategy may align with broader goals set by UnitedHealth Group, which is known for its commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon footprints across its operations. However, without specific emissions data or reduction targets, the current status of SCA Health's climate commitments remains unclear.
