ISU Group's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from ISU Chemical Co., Ltd

ISU Group, headquartered in South Korea (KR), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of ISU Chemical Co., Ltd, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, ISU Group has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Given the lack of direct emissions data and reduction commitments, it is essential for ISU Group to consider establishing measurable targets aligned with industry standards, such as those set by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), to enhance its sustainability profile and address climate change effectively.
