The trend indicates a reduction in total emissions from 2020 to 2022, reflecting a commitment to improving sustainability practices. SunPower has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have cascaded Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets from its parent company. However, it is a current subsidiary of SunPower Corporation, which may influence its overall climate strategy. The company is also linked to TotalEnergies SE through a corporate relationship, which may impact its climate commitments indirectly. Overall, while SunPower has made strides in reducing its emissions, further transparency regarding specific reduction targets and initiatives would enhance its climate commitment profile.
