Kelsian has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, and there are no emissions data cascaded from a parent organization. The company is actively monitoring its emissions but has not disclosed any formal climate pledges or SBTi targets. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for future reporting and improvement.
