Thomas Built Buses's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Daimler Truck Holding AG

Thomas Built Buses, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Daimler Truck Holding AG, which influences its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, Thomas Built Buses has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other recognised frameworks. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Emissions data and performance metrics are cascaded from Daimler Truck Holding AG, which operates at a higher corporate level. This relationship indicates that any climate commitments or emissions reductions may align with the broader goals set by Daimler Truck Holding AG, although specific figures for Thomas Built Buses are not disclosed. In summary, while Thomas Built Buses is part of a larger corporate family with potential climate initiatives, it currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction commitments.
