Over the years, Helical has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.

The company has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other frameworks, which suggests a need for clearer commitments in this area. Helical's emissions data reflects a comprehensive approach to tracking and managing carbon emissions across all three scopes, highlighting the importance of addressing both direct and indirect emissions in their climate strategy. As the company continues to evolve its sustainability practices, further transparency regarding reduction targets and initiatives will be essential for stakeholders and the broader industry.
