However, the absence of specific reduction targets or commitments suggests that while Disney is aware of its carbon emissions, it may need to establish clearer goals to enhance its climate strategy. Overall, Disney's emissions data reflects a significant environmental footprint, with a substantial portion attributed to Scope 3 emissions, which include activities such as purchased goods and services, employee commuting, and waste generated in operations. The company’s ongoing efforts to address these emissions will be crucial in meeting future climate commitments.
