VTG has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, and there are no cascading emissions data from a parent organisation. The company has disclosed emissions data for all relevant scopes, demonstrating transparency in its reporting practices. Overall, VTG's emissions profile highlights the importance of addressing Scope 3 emissions, which represent the largest portion of its carbon footprint. The absence of reduction targets suggests a need for the company to develop a comprehensive strategy to mitigate its environmental impact moving forward.
