Yahoo India Pvt. Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Verizon Communications Inc.

Yahoo India Pvt. Ltd. currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc., which means that any climate commitments or emissions data may be inherited from its parent organisation. Yahoo India is aligned with various climate initiatives cascaded from Verizon Communications Inc., including the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), CDP, and RE100. However, specific reduction targets or achievements have not been disclosed for Yahoo India itself. The lack of detailed emissions data and specific reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the process of establishing its own climate commitments or reporting frameworks. As part of its corporate family, Yahoo India is expected to adhere to the sustainability goals set by Verizon, which may include significant commitments to reduce carbon emissions and transition to renewable energy sources. However, without specific data or targets, it is challenging to provide a comprehensive overview of Yahoo India's carbon footprint or climate strategy.
