This indicates an increase in total emissions over the four-year period, particularly in Scope 1 emissions. Currently, VolkerHighways has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit their ability to demonstrate a commitment to reducing their carbon footprint in line with industry standards. As the company continues to operate, it will be essential for them to establish clear climate commitments to address their emissions effectively.
