Shred-it International Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Shred-it International Inc., headquartered in California, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Stericycle, Inc., which may influence its environmental strategies and commitments.
