Rpm's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, RPM International Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 143,583,000 kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This figure reflects a reduction from the previous year's total of about 159,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed specific Scope 3 emissions data. Despite the reduction in emissions, RPM has not set any formal reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation. RPM's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent company, indicating that the reported figures are solely from RPM International Inc. itself. The company continues to focus on sustainability practices, although further transparency and commitment to measurable reduction targets would strengthen its climate strategy.
