YCC Holdings LLC's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Newell Brands Inc.

YCC Holdings LLC, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Newell Brands Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While YCC Holdings LLC has not established its own reduction targets or climate pledges, it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from its parent company, Newell Brands Inc., at a cascade level of 2. This means that any climate initiatives or emissions reductions undertaken by Newell Brands could potentially reflect on YCC Holdings LLC's environmental strategy. As of now, YCC Holdings LLC has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy. In summary, while YCC Holdings LLC does not currently report emissions data or specific climate commitments, its relationship with Newell Brands Inc. may provide a framework for future sustainability initiatives.
