Rpm's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, RPM reported total emissions of approximately 143,583,000 kg CO2e, which falls under Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This figure reflects the company's commitment to monitoring and managing its carbon footprint. In 2021, RPM's emissions were approximately 188,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a significant reduction in emissions over the two-year period. Despite these achievements, RPM has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while RPM is tracking its emissions, it may not yet have formalised commitments to future reductions. Overall, RPM's emissions data highlights its ongoing efforts to address climate change, although further clarity on reduction strategies would enhance its sustainability profile.
