Universal Music GmbH's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Universal Music Group N.V.

Universal Music GmbH, headquartered in Germany, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Universal Music Group N.V., which influences its climate commitments and performance metrics. As part of its climate strategy, Universal Music GmbH inherits reduction initiatives and targets from its parent company, Universal Music Group N.V. This includes participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with global climate goals. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Universal Music GmbH have not been disclosed.
