UBM plc's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Informa plc

UBM plc, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Informa plc, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As part of its corporate family relationship, UBM plc's climate initiatives and targets are likely aligned with those of Informa plc. While UBM plc does not report its own reduction targets or specific emissions figures, it is important to note that the broader Informa plc group may have established science-based targets (SBTi) and other climate commitments that could impact UBM's sustainability strategies. However, specific details regarding these targets or achievements have not been disclosed. In summary, UBM plc is currently in a position where it inherits climate commitments and potential emissions data from its parent company, Informa plc, but lacks specific emissions reporting or reduction targets of its own.
