WMF Group's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from SEB SA

As of the latest available data, WMF Group does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of detailed emissions data for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of WMF Group GmbH, and its climate commitments and performance are influenced by its parent organisation, SEB SA. WMF Group has not outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives in its current documentation. However, it is important to note that the company is part of a broader corporate family that may have established climate commitments. The emissions data and climate strategies may be cascaded from SEB SA, which is known for its sustainability initiatives. In summary, while WMF Group currently lacks specific emissions data and defined reduction targets, it is positioned within a corporate structure that may influence its climate commitments through SEB SA. Further details on their climate strategy and performance may be available through the parent organisation's disclosures.
