Atotech, headquartered in Germany (DE), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. The company is a current subsidiary of Atotech Limited, which inherits its climate commitments and performance data from its parent company, MKS Instruments, Inc. Atotech has not outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives in its climate strategy. However, it is important to note that the climate commitments and performance metrics are cascaded from MKS Instruments, Inc., which may have established targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and other climate-related frameworks. As a part of the broader industry context, Atotech is expected to align with emerging standards and practices aimed at reducing carbon footprints and enhancing sustainability. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction targets highlights the need for increased transparency and commitment to climate action within the organisation.
