General Scrap Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from EVRAZ plc

General Scrap Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of EVRAZ plc, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As a result, any emissions data or reduction targets would be inherited from EVRAZ plc, but specific figures are not provided. General Scrap Inc. has not outlined any specific reduction initiatives or targets, such as those set by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented climate pledges or reduction targets indicates a potential area for development in their sustainability strategy. In the context of the industry, it is essential for companies like General Scrap Inc. to establish clear emissions reduction goals and commitments to align with global climate standards and expectations. As the company continues to operate under the umbrella of EVRAZ plc, it may benefit from leveraging the parent company's initiatives and strategies to enhance its own climate action framework.
