Wacker Neuson has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of detailed climate commitments suggests a need for further development in their sustainability strategy. The emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organization, indicating that Wacker Neuson SE independently reports its emissions. The company operates in a climate-intensive sector, with a revenue of approximately USD 2.93 billion in 2023, reflecting a CO2 emission intensity of about 0.00738 kg CO2e per unit of revenue. Overall, while Wacker Neuson has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
