Brenntag's reported carbon emissions

Brenntag, headquartered in Italy, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as there are no available figures for their emissions in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their initiatives. This lack of data suggests that Brenntag may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments or reporting practices. In the context of the chemical distribution industry, companies are increasingly expected to adopt transparent climate strategies and set ambitious targets to reduce their carbon footprints. As Brenntag navigates this landscape, it may consider aligning with industry standards and frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to enhance its climate commitments and reporting.
