The Salvation Army's reported carbon emissions
The Salvation Army, headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as there are no available figures for emissions in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their initiatives. This absence of data suggests that The Salvation Army may not have established formal commitments to reduce carbon emissions or may not publicly disclose such information. In the context of climate action, many organisations are increasingly adopting science-based targets and participating in initiatives like the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to align their operations with global climate goals. However, without specific commitments or emissions data, it is unclear how The Salvation Army is addressing its carbon footprint or contributing to climate resilience efforts.
