Kester Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Element Solutions Inc

Kester Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Element Solutions Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Kester Inc. has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). As a result, there are no documented efforts towards emissions reduction or sustainability commitments at this time. Given the lack of direct emissions data and reduction initiatives, Kester Inc.'s climate strategy appears to be aligned with the broader corporate policies of its parent company, Element Solutions Inc. However, without specific targets or achievements reported, the company's individual climate impact remains unclear.
