Canpotex Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from The Mosaic Company

Canpotex Limited, headquartered in Canada, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of The Mosaic Company, which means that any emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from this parent organization. As of now, Canpotex Limited has not set specific reduction targets or made climate pledges that are publicly documented. The absence of direct emissions data suggests that the company may rely on the sustainability initiatives and performance metrics of The Mosaic Company, which operates at a cascade level of 2 in this context. While Canpotex Limited does not have its own documented climate commitments, it is important to note that the broader industry context often includes commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve sustainability practices. Companies in the sector are increasingly aligning with frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participating in initiatives like the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) to enhance transparency and accountability regarding their environmental impact. In summary, Canpotex Limited's current climate commitments and emissions data are not explicitly defined, and any relevant information may be derived from its parent company, The Mosaic Company.
