Universal American Corp.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Centene Corporation

Universal American Corp., 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 Centene Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While Universal American Corp. has not established its own reduction targets or climate pledges, it is important to note that emissions data and climate initiatives may be inherited from its parent company, Centene Corporation. This relationship suggests that any climate commitments or emissions performance may align with Centene's strategies and goals. As of now, Universal American Corp. has not disclosed any specific reduction initiatives or targets, nor has it participated in frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) at its own level. The lack of direct emissions data and reduction commitments indicates a potential area for development in their sustainability strategy.
