SoftLayer Technologies, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from International Business Machines Corporation

SoftLayer Technologies, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As part of its corporate family relationship with IBM, SoftLayer's climate initiatives and performance metrics are likely aligned with those of its parent company. IBM has made significant strides in sustainability, including commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve net-zero emissions by 2030. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for SoftLayer itself have not been disclosed. SoftLayer Technologies, Inc. does not report any specific Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other documented reduction initiatives at this time. The absence of emissions data and reduction commitments suggests that the company may still be developing its climate strategy or relying on the broader initiatives set forth by IBM. In summary, while SoftLayer Technologies, Inc. is part of a larger organisation with established climate commitments, it currently lacks specific emissions data and individual reduction targets.
