BASF Coatings GmbH's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from BASF SE

BASF Coatings GmbH, 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 BASF SE, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While BASF Coatings GmbH has not outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives, it is important to note that emissions data and climate strategies may be cascaded from its parent company, BASF SE. This includes participation in initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and Climate Action 100+ (CA100), which are aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability in corporate climate action. As a part of the broader BASF Group, BASF Coatings GmbH is likely aligned with the sustainability goals and climate commitments set forth by its parent company, which may include targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions across various scopes. However, specific details regarding these commitments or achievements at the subsidiary level remain unspecified. In summary, while BASF Coatings GmbH does not currently provide emissions data or specific reduction targets, its affiliation with BASF SE suggests a commitment to corporate climate responsibility, potentially influenced by the broader initiatives and targets established by the parent organisation.
