Arkema Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Arkema S.A.

Arkema Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the latest year, as no emissions figures are available. The company is a current subsidiary of Arkema S.A., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While Arkema Inc. has not outlined specific reduction targets or achievements, it is important to note that its parent company, Arkema S.A., is involved in various climate initiatives. These initiatives include commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which aim to enhance transparency and accountability in corporate climate action. As a subsidiary, Arkema Inc. may align its climate strategies with those of Arkema S.A., which could include broader industry-standard climate terminology and practices. However, without specific data or targets from Arkema Inc. itself, the details of its emissions reduction commitments remain vague. In summary, while Arkema Inc. does not currently provide emissions data or specific reduction targets, it is part of a corporate family that is engaged in climate initiatives through its parent company, Arkema S.A.
