Sun Chemical's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data from 2010, Sun Chemical reported carbon emissions of approximately 2,000,000 kg CO2e related to the manufacturing and delivery of printing inks, which includes emissions from the supply chain. The specific scope of these emissions is not detailed, indicating that they may encompass a combination of direct and indirect emissions. Currently, there are no disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Sun Chemical, suggesting a lack of formal commitments to reduce their carbon footprint. This absence of specific initiatives may reflect broader industry trends where companies are increasingly pressured to address climate change but may not yet have established concrete goals. In summary, while Sun Chemical's emissions data highlights significant carbon outputs, the company has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or climate initiatives as of the latest information available.
