Universal Electronics has committed to achieving 100% renewable electricity for its offices and data centres by the end of FY25, which is expected to significantly reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions in line with climate science standards. This commitment reflects the company's near-term targets for emissions reduction, although no specific long-term targets have been established. The company is not currently part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) but has made a commitment to net-zero emissions. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that Universal Electronics is independently reporting its carbon footprint and climate commitments.
