Despite these figures, Mueller Industries has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of recognised frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Their CDP score for 2023 was rated as "D," indicating room for improvement in their climate strategy and transparency. Overall, while Mueller Industries is actively tracking its emissions, further commitments and clear reduction targets would enhance its climate action profile in the industry.
