K Water has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for future reporting and improvement. The company continues to focus on its operational emissions, primarily from energy consumption, as reflected in its significant Scope 2 emissions. Overall, K Water's commitment to addressing its carbon footprint remains evident, although further transparency regarding reduction strategies and targets would enhance its climate action profile.
