CJ Cheiljedang has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company’s emissions data reflects a significant challenge in managing Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass a wide range of indirect emissions from the supply chain and product lifecycle. Overall, while CJ Cheiljedang has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and strategies moving forward.
