Sterling's reported carbon emissions

Sterling currently does not have available carbon emissions data, as no specific figures have been provided. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their initiatives. This lack of information suggests that Sterling may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy or may not have publicly committed to specific emissions reduction goals. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, it will be essential for Sterling to establish clear climate commitments to align with global efforts in reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change.
