sonnen GmbH's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Shell plc

Sonnen GmbH, headquartered in Germany, 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 Shell plc, which influences its climate commitments and performance metrics through a cascading relationship. While Sonnen GmbH has not established its own reduction targets or specific climate pledges, it aligns with broader initiatives from its parent company, Shell plc. This includes participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and the Climate Action 100+ initiative, both of which aim to enhance transparency and accountability in corporate climate strategies. As a subsidiary, Sonnen GmbH's climate commitments may reflect the sustainability goals set by Shell plc, which has been actively working towards significant emissions reductions and transitioning to renewable energy sources. However, specific details regarding Sonnen's individual targets or achievements in emissions reduction remain unspecified. In summary, while Sonnen GmbH does not provide direct emissions data or reduction targets, its affiliation with Shell plc suggests a commitment to sustainability and climate action, influenced by the parent company's initiatives.
