Vard Group AS's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Fincantieri S.p.A.

Vard Group AS, headquartered in Norway, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Fincantieri S.p.A., and any relevant emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from this parent organization. As of now, Vard Group AS has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The lack of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Given its affiliation with Fincantieri S.p.A., Vard Group AS may align its climate commitments with those of its parent company, which could include broader industry standards and practices. However, without specific data or commitments from Vard Group AS itself, it is challenging to provide a detailed overview of its carbon emissions and climate initiatives. In summary, Vard Group AS is currently without reported emissions data or defined climate commitments, relying on its corporate relationship with Fincantieri S.p.A. for potential guidance in sustainability efforts.
