The trend indicates a notable increase in Scope 3 emissions, which are primarily driven by purchased goods and services. Motul has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its carbon footprint, it may not yet have formalised strategies to mitigate its emissions effectively. Overall, Motul S.A. is positioned within an industry that is increasingly focused on sustainability and reducing carbon emissions, yet it currently lacks defined pathways for achieving significant reductions in its greenhouse gas emissions.
