Despite the increase in emissions, Ultima has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company does not appear to have cascaded emissions data from a parent organization, indicating that their reported figures are independently sourced. Ultima's climate strategy remains undefined in terms of formal pledges or targets, reflecting a broader industry context where many organisations are increasingly pressured to establish clear sustainability goals.
Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.
Ultima has not publicly committed to specific 2030 or 2050 climate goals through the major frameworks we track. Companies often set interim 2030 targets and long-term 2050 net-zero goals to demonstrate measurable progress toward decarbonization.
