Nalge Nunc International Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.

Nalge Nunc International Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., and any climate commitments or emissions data would be cascaded from this parent organisation. Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has established various climate initiatives, including Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments, which are relevant to Nalge Nunc's climate strategy. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Nalge Nunc are not detailed in the available information. As a subsidiary, Nalge Nunc's climate commitments may align with those of Thermo Fisher Scientific, which is actively working towards reducing its carbon footprint and enhancing sustainability practices across its operations. The absence of direct emissions data suggests that Nalge Nunc is still in the process of developing its own specific climate action plan, potentially influenced by the broader corporate strategies of its parent company.
