This trend highlights the company's ongoing efforts to understand and manage its carbon footprint. Despite the lack of specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed, Grupo Ultra's emissions intensity metrics, such as those from its subsidiaries, indicate a focus on improving efficiency. For example, the emissions intensity for Oxiteno was reported at 469 kg CO2e per tonne of commercialised product in 2014, decreasing to 430 kg CO2e per tonne by 2016. As Grupo Ultra continues to navigate its climate commitments, the emphasis on transparency in emissions reporting remains crucial for stakeholders and the broader industry context.
