Chalco has not specified any formal reduction targets or climate pledges, which places it in a challenging position within the industry as global standards for emissions reduction become increasingly stringent. The company’s emissions intensity in the electrolytic aluminium sector was reported at about 12,250 kg CO2e per tonne in 2023, highlighting the environmental impact of its production processes. Overall, while Chalco continues to report its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the corporation to strengthen its climate commitments and align with industry best practices for sustainability.
