Equistar Chemicals, LP's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from LyondellBasell Industries N.V.

Equistar Chemicals, LP, headquartered in the US, 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 LyondellBasell Industries N.V., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. Equistar's climate initiatives and reduction targets are inherited from its parent company, LyondellBasell Industries N.V., at a cascade level of four. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Equistar itself have not been disclosed. The absence of documented reduction initiatives or commitments suggests that the company may rely on broader corporate strategies set by LyondellBasell. As part of the industry context, Equistar is expected to align with the climate pledges and sustainability goals established by its parent organisation, which may include participation in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, without specific data or commitments from Equistar, the details of their individual climate strategy remain unclear.
