The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a potential area for future reporting and improvement. Aekyung Chemical has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit its ability to demonstrate a proactive approach to climate commitments. As a current subsidiary of Aekyungchemical Co., Ltd., emissions data is cascaded from the parent company, which may influence the overall sustainability strategy. The absence of specific reduction initiatives or targets suggests that Aekyung Chemical may need to enhance its climate action framework to align with industry standards and expectations.
