Meridian Lightweight Technologies Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2017, Meridian Lightweight Technologies Inc. reported approximately 24,300 kg CO2e in emissions from various production processes, including 17,800 kg CO2e from the electrolysis process and 6,500 kg CO2e from the Qinghai electrolytic smelter project. Notably, the company has not disclosed specific data for Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, nor has it set any formal reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. Meridian Lightweight Technologies Inc. operates without cascaded emissions data from a parent company, indicating that its reported figures are solely its own. The absence of specific reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Meridian's future commitments and actions will be crucial in addressing its carbon footprint and aligning with global climate goals.
