The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which limits the overall understanding of its carbon footprint. Despite these figures, Nalco has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor has it reported any SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies within the organisation. Nalco's emissions data is sourced directly from the National Aluminium Company Limited, with no cascading from a parent or related organisation. The company continues to operate within the aluminium production sector, which is known for its significant carbon emissions, particularly from energy-intensive processes.
