The Ames Companies, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Griffon Corporation

The Ames Companies, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. However, it is important to note that The Ames Companies, Inc. is a current subsidiary of Griffon Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As part of its corporate family relationship, emissions data and climate performance metrics may be inherited from Griffon Corporation. This cascading of data suggests that The Ames Companies, Inc. aligns its sustainability efforts with those of its parent company, although specific reduction targets or achievements have not been disclosed. The absence of specific emissions data indicates that The Ames Companies, Inc. may still be in the process of establishing its own climate commitments or may rely on broader initiatives from Griffon Corporation. As such, the company has not yet set publicly available science-based targets or specific reduction initiatives. In summary, while The Ames Companies, Inc. does not currently provide detailed emissions data or reduction targets, its affiliation with Griffon Corporation may play a significant role in shaping its future climate strategies and commitments.
