Cathay Industries's reported carbon emissions

Cathay Industries, headquartered in South Africa (ZA), currently does not report any carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of specific figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the company. This lack of data suggests that Cathay Industries may not have established formal commitments to reduce its carbon footprint or may not publicly disclose such information. In the context of the industry, many companies are increasingly adopting science-based targets and sustainability initiatives to mitigate climate change impacts. However, without specific emissions data or commitments, it is challenging to assess Cathay Industries' position relative to its peers in terms of climate action and carbon management.
