Let us know if this data was useful to you
VTT, headquartered in France, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as no emissions figures are available. However, the organisation is part of a corporate family that includes Carrefour SA, from which it inherits emissions data and climate commitments. VTT's climate initiatives are aligned with those of Carrefour SA, which has set ambitious targets for carbon reduction. These initiatives include participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability in emissions reporting. As a current subsidiary of Carrefour SA, VTT benefits from the sustainability strategies and performance metrics established by its parent company. This relationship underscores VTT's commitment to addressing climate change, although specific reduction targets or achievements have not been disclosed at this time. Overall, while VTT does not provide direct emissions data, its alignment with Carrefour SA's climate initiatives reflects a commitment to sustainability and carbon reduction within the broader corporate framework.
