Nalco has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a potential area for future reporting and improvement. The company has not set specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges, which may limit its ability to demonstrate a structured approach to emissions reduction. Over the past few years, Nalco's emissions have shown variability, with Scope 1 emissions peaking at approximately 11,055,659,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and declining to about 10,342,032,000 kg CO2e in 2022. The company has not publicly committed to any formal reduction initiatives or targets, which may impact its long-term sustainability goals. Overall, while Nalco has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of reduction targets and commitments suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies to align with global sustainability efforts.
