The previous year, 2022, saw emissions of around 8,454,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and approximately 33,953,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This data indicates a trend in emissions that the company is actively monitoring. Despite the emissions data, Ub has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data suggests a potential area for future reporting and commitment. Ub's climate commitments remain vague, with no documented climate pledges or targets outlined in the available information. Overall, Ub's emissions data highlights the need for enhanced transparency and proactive measures in addressing climate change, particularly in setting clear reduction goals and expanding their reporting to include all relevant scopes of emissions.
