Currently, CHS does not have any publicly stated reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of reduction initiatives indicates a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. As a major player in the agricultural sector, CHS's emissions data is crucial for understanding its environmental footprint and the broader industry context. The company has not inherited emissions data from any parent organisation, ensuring that its reported figures are solely reflective of its own operations. Overall, while CHS has significant emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
