CAS's reported carbon emissions
Chemical Abstracts Service, Inc. (CAS), headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it have documented reduction targets or climate pledges. As a current subsidiary, CAS's climate commitments and emissions data may be influenced by its parent organisation, but no specific figures or targets have been disclosed. Given the absence of direct emissions data and reduction initiatives, it is unclear how CAS is addressing its carbon footprint or contributing to broader climate goals. The lack of reported emissions and commitments suggests a need for enhanced transparency and action in line with industry standards for climate accountability.
