In 2020, Meridian Lightweight Technologies Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 29,305,000 kg CO2e, primarily from Scope 1 emissions, which accounted for the vast majority of their footprint. Scope 3 emissions were minimal, at about 415 kg CO2e, all attributed to purchased goods and services. Notably, there were no reported Scope 2 emissions for that year. Meridian has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions profile, it may not yet have a structured plan to address or reduce its carbon footprint in line with industry standards. Overall, Meridian Lightweight Technologies Inc. is positioned within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability, yet it currently lacks defined strategies for significant emissions reductions.
