Towers Watson's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Willis Towers Watson Public Limited Company

Towers Watson, headquartered in TW, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The organisation is a current subsidiary of Willis Towers Watson Public Limited Company, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Despite the lack of direct emissions data, Towers Watson is part of a broader corporate family that is engaged in various climate initiatives. The emissions data and performance metrics are cascaded from Willis Towers Watson, which operates at a higher corporate level. This relationship may provide insights into the climate strategies and targets that Towers Watson is expected to align with. Towers Watson has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. However, as part of the Willis Towers Watson group, it is likely to adhere to the sustainability goals and climate strategies established by its parent company. In summary, while Towers Watson does not present specific emissions data or reduction targets, its affiliation with Willis Towers Watson suggests a commitment to climate action consistent with industry standards. Further details on their climate initiatives may be available through the parent organisation's disclosures.
