BIC (South Africa) Pty. Ltd's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Société BIC SA

BIC (South Africa) Pty. Ltd 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, BIC (South Africa) has not established any documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The absence of specific emissions data suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing its sustainability strategy or reporting framework. Emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from its parent company, Société BIC SA, which operates under broader corporate sustainability initiatives. However, without specific figures or targets from BIC (South Africa), it is challenging to provide a detailed overview of its carbon footprint or climate commitments. In summary, BIC (South Africa) Pty. Ltd is currently lacking specific emissions data and reduction targets, with potential insights to be drawn from its parent company, Société BIC SA.
