DKSH Performance Materials's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from DKSH Holding AG

DKSH Performance Materials, headquartered in Switzerland (CH), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. The company is a current subsidiary of DKSH Holding AG, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While DKSH Performance Materials has not outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives, it is important to note that emissions data and climate strategies may be cascaded from its parent company, DKSH Holding AG. This relationship suggests that any climate commitments or performance metrics may align with the broader sustainability goals set by DKSH Holding AG. As of now, DKSH Performance Materials has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction targets indicates a need for further transparency in their climate strategy. In summary, while DKSH Performance Materials is part of a larger corporate structure that may have climate commitments, specific emissions data and reduction initiatives for the company itself are currently unavailable.
