It's important to note that URC's emissions data is cascaded from its ultimate parent organization, Universal Robina Corporation, indicating a corporate family relationship. While Scope 1 and 2 data are actively reported, there is a noted absence of Scope 3 data for purchased goods and services in the most recent reporting years, though limited Scope 3 emissions for business travel were disclosed in 2021.
