Smith & Nephew, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Smith & Nephew plc

Smith & Nephew, 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 Smith & Nephew plc, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Smith & Nephew, Inc. However, emissions data and performance metrics may be cascaded from its parent company, Smith & Nephew plc, which is responsible for reporting under the CDP framework.
