However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their commitments, which suggests a need for further clarity on their long-term climate strategy. Overall, Kraton's commitment to reducing carbon emissions is evident through their reported data, but the absence of formal reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their sustainability efforts.
