URS Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from AECOM

URS Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of AECOM, and as such, it inherits emissions data and climate commitments from its parent organisation. While URS Corporation does not have its own documented reduction targets, it aligns with AECOM's sustainability initiatives, which include commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). These initiatives aim to drive significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions across various scopes, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. As part of its climate strategy, URS Corporation is expected to adhere to the broader goals set by AECOM, which may include ambitious targets for reducing carbon footprints and enhancing sustainability practices. However, specific details regarding these targets or achievements have not been disclosed. In summary, while URS Corporation does not present its own emissions data or reduction targets, it is positioned within a corporate family that prioritises climate action and sustainability through inherited commitments from AECOM.
