Tecan Trading AG, headquartered in Switzerland (CH), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Tecan Group AG, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While Tecan Trading AG has not set specific reduction targets or made notable climate pledges, it is important to note that any climate initiatives or targets would likely be aligned with those of its parent company, Tecan Group AG. This includes potential commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are cascaded from Tecan Group AG. As a subsidiary, Tecan Trading AG may benefit from the broader sustainability strategies and climate action plans established by Tecan Group AG, which could include industry-standard practices aimed at reducing carbon emissions across various scopes. However, without specific data or targets from Tecan Trading AG itself, a detailed assessment of its individual climate commitments remains unclear.
