Volta Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Shell plc

Volta Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Shell plc, and any emissions data or climate commitments may be influenced by this relationship. As of now, Volta Inc. has not publicly disclosed any reduction targets or specific climate initiatives. However, it is important to note that emissions data and climate performance metrics may be cascaded from Shell plc, which operates under various climate initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and Climate Action 100+ (CA100). Given the absence of direct emissions data, it is unclear how Volta Inc. aligns with industry standards for carbon reduction or what specific commitments it may have made towards achieving net-zero emissions. The company may benefit from leveraging the climate strategies and targets established by its parent company, Shell plc, to enhance its sustainability profile in the future.
