Cognite's climate commitments include a long-term target for climate neutrality by 2050, a goal cascaded from the Volkswagen Group, which Cognite was previously part of. While Cognite AS is listed as the source organisation for its own performance data, the reduction targets are cascaded from the Volkswagen Group. Specifically, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are targeted for climate neutrality by 2050. The data presented is cascaded, with Cognite AS being the direct reporting entity and the ultimate parent organisation for performance data originating from Cognite AS itself. However, the reduction targets are sourced from a document associated with the Volkswagen Group, with a cascade level of 3 and identified as a current subsidiary relationship.
