Virgin Music Group Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Universal Music Group N.V.

Virgin Music Group Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Universal Music Group N.V., which means that any climate commitments or emissions data may be inherited from its parent organization. As part of its climate strategy, Virgin Music Group Limited aligns with the initiatives set forth by Universal Music Group N.V. This includes participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing transparency in climate-related performance. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Virgin Music Group Limited have not been disclosed. The absence of direct emissions data suggests that Virgin Music Group Limited is still in the process of establishing its own climate commitments or may rely on the broader strategies of its parent company. As the music industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Virgin Music Group Limited is expected to contribute to these efforts in alignment with Universal Music Group N.V.'s overarching climate goals.
