Sterling Jewelers Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Signet Jewelers Limited

Sterling Jewelers Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Signet Jewelers Limited, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As part of its corporate family, Sterling Jewelers Inc. inherits emissions data and sustainability initiatives from Signet Jewelers Limited. However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been documented for Sterling Jewelers Inc. itself. The absence of detailed emissions data suggests that the company may still be in the process of establishing its own climate strategy or reporting framework. In the broader context, Signet Jewelers Limited has been active in addressing climate change, and it is likely that Sterling Jewelers Inc. will align its efforts with the parent company's initiatives. This includes potential participation in industry-standard frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), although specific targets or commitments have not been disclosed for Sterling Jewelers Inc. at this time.
