Magnesita S.A.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from RHI Magnesita N.V.

Magnesita S.A., headquartered in Brazil, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of RHI Magnesita N.V., and any emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from this parent organisation. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Magnesita S.A. itself. The absence of specific emissions figures and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the process of establishing its climate strategy or reporting framework. Given the context of the industry, it is essential for Magnesita S.A. to align with global climate standards and initiatives, particularly as part of the broader commitments made by RHI Magnesita N.V. This includes potential participation in frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), which are crucial for setting measurable and accountable climate goals. In summary, while Magnesita S.A. currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets, its affiliation with RHI Magnesita N.V. positions it within a corporate family that may influence its future climate commitments and reporting practices.
