KAOLIN's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, KAOLIN, headquartered in Bulgaria (BG), does not report specific carbon emissions figures, as no emissions data is provided. The company is a current subsidiary of Kaolin AD, which may influence its climate-related metrics. KAOLIN has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of specific targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. The absence of emissions data and reduction initiatives indicates a potential opportunity for KAOLIN to enhance its sustainability efforts and align with industry standards for carbon management. As a subsidiary, it may benefit from the climate strategies and performance metrics of its parent company, Quarzwerke Gesellschaft Mit Beschränkter Haftung, which could provide a framework for future emissions reporting and reduction commitments. In summary, while KAOLIN currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets, its corporate relationship may offer pathways for improved climate action in the future.
