Sotheby'S, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of specific figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Sotheby's, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Despite the lack of specific emissions data, Sotheby'S, Inc. is part of a broader corporate family that engages in various climate initiatives. The company does not have documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other recognised frameworks. Additionally, there are no climate pledges or specific reduction initiatives reported. As a subsidiary, Sotheby'S, Inc. may inherit climate-related strategies and performance metrics from its parent organisation, Sotheby's. However, without explicit data or commitments outlined, it is challenging to assess the company's direct impact on carbon emissions or its climate strategy. In summary, while Sotheby'S, Inc. is positioned within a corporate structure that may prioritise sustainability, specific emissions data and reduction targets are currently unavailable, limiting the ability to evaluate its climate commitments effectively.
