UST LLC's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Altria Group, Inc.

UST LLC, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the latest year, as no absolute emissions figures are available. The company is a current subsidiary of Altria Group, Inc., and any relevant emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from this parent organisation. UST LLC has not outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives in its own right. However, it is important to note that any climate commitments or targets would likely align with those set by Altria Group, Inc., which may include initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and other climate-related frameworks. As a subsidiary, UST LLC's climate strategy may be influenced by Altria's broader sustainability goals, which focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions across its operations. Without specific data or commitments from UST LLC, the company's climate impact remains unclear, but it is positioned within a corporate family that is actively engaged in addressing climate change.
