Bic Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Société BIC SA

Bic Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Société BIC SA, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or initiatives from Bic Corporation. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Given the context of the industry, it is essential for Bic Corporation to align with broader sustainability goals, potentially inheriting initiatives from its parent company, Société BIC SA. This could include participation in frameworks such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), from which emissions performance data may be cascaded. In summary, while Bic Corporation has not disclosed specific emissions figures or reduction targets, its affiliation with Société BIC SA may provide a pathway for future climate commitments and emissions management strategies.
