Smith And Nephew S.r.l.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Smith & Nephew plc

Smith And Nephew S.r.l. currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Smith & Nephew plc, which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. As part of its corporate family, Smith And Nephew S.r.l. inherits emissions data and sustainability initiatives from Smith & Nephew plc. However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been documented for Smith And Nephew S.r.l. itself. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the process of establishing its own climate strategy or may rely on overarching commitments from its parent organisation. In the context of the industry, it is essential for companies like Smith And Nephew S.r.l. to align with global climate standards and frameworks, such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), to enhance transparency and accountability in their environmental impact.
