Transamerica's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Aegon Ltd.

Transamerica, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Transamerica Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Transamerica's climate initiatives are informed by its parent company, Aegon Ltd., from which it inherits certain sustainability targets and performance metrics. However, no specific reduction targets or achievements have been documented for Transamerica itself. As part of its corporate family, Transamerica aligns with broader industry standards and commitments, although specific details regarding the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges are not available. The lack of reported emissions data suggests that Transamerica may still be in the process of establishing its own comprehensive climate strategy. In summary, while Transamerica is part of a larger corporate structure that may have climate commitments, it currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets.
