Serco has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organization, indicating that these figures are independently reported. Overall, while Serco, S.L. has made strides in tracking its carbon footprint, the lack of formal reduction commitments suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate action in alignment with industry standards.
