Symantec Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Gen Digital Inc.

Symantec Limited, headquartered in Ireland (IE), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. The company is a current subsidiary of Gen Digital Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. As of now, Symantec Limited has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of specific commitments may reflect broader industry trends where companies are increasingly expected to disclose their carbon footprints and set ambitious reduction goals. Given the absence of direct emissions data and reduction initiatives, it is essential for Symantec Limited to enhance its climate strategy and transparency in line with industry standards. This would not only align with global sustainability efforts but also improve its corporate responsibility profile.
