GLG Life Tech's reported carbon emissions

GLG Life Tech, headquartered in California, currently does not report any carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of specific figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the company. This lack of data suggests that GLG Life Tech may not have established formal commitments to reduce its carbon footprint or engage in industry-standard climate initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Without emissions data or reduction initiatives, it is challenging to assess the company's climate impact or commitments within the broader context of sustainability in the industry.
