The company has not disclosed any Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a focus primarily on direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Nongshim has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, while Nongshim's emissions data reflects a commitment to transparency, the lack of significant reduction initiatives or targets indicates potential areas for improvement in its climate action efforts.
