Earle M. Jorgensen Company's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Reliance, Inc.

Earle M. Jorgensen Company, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of Reliance, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Despite the lack of direct emissions data, Earle M. Jorgensen Company is part of a broader corporate family that may have established climate initiatives. However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been documented for the company itself. This suggests that while the company may be aligned with industry standards, it has yet to publicly commit to measurable climate action or disclose its emissions profile. As a subsidiary, Earle M. Jorgensen Company may benefit from the sustainability strategies and targets set by Reliance, Inc., but specific details on these initiatives are not provided. The absence of reported emissions and reduction targets highlights a potential area for improvement in transparency and accountability regarding climate commitments within the organisation.
