This indicates a positive trend in reducing emissions over the year. Stv's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organization, and there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented. The company has not set any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other formal climate commitments, which places it in a context where further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate accountability. Overall, while Stv has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate action and commitment in the future.
