ION Trading has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from a parent organization. The absence of formal climate pledges or SBTi targets indicates a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. Overall, while ION Trading Ireland Ltd has made some progress in managing its emissions, the lack of defined reduction strategies suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
