The company has not set any formal reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it report any initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate frameworks. URC's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Universal Robina Corporation, indicating a corporate family relationship that influences its sustainability reporting. The absence of specific reduction targets suggests that while URC is aware of its carbon footprint, it has yet to formalise a comprehensive strategy for emissions reduction.
