Westmoreland Coal Company's reported carbon emissions

Westmoreland Coal Company currently does not have available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of specific figures. Consequently, there are no reported emissions in kg CO2e, nor are there any documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company does not inherit emissions data from a parent organisation, and there are no significant climate commitments or initiatives reported at this time. As such, Westmoreland Coal Company appears to be in the early stages of establishing its climate strategy and emissions reporting framework. In the context of the coal industry, companies are increasingly under pressure to address their carbon footprints and implement sustainability measures.
