MicroChem Corp., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the latest year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from MicroChem Corp., it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from its parent company, Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd. This relationship suggests that MicroChem Corp. may align its sustainability initiatives with the broader goals set by Nippon Kayaku, although specific details on these initiatives are not provided. As a subsidiary, MicroChem Corp. may benefit from the corporate family’s climate strategies, potentially including participation in industry-standard initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, without explicit data or commitments from MicroChem Corp. itself, the specifics of its climate action remain unclear.
