Nordkalk's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, SigmaRoc plc, indicating a corporate family relationship that influences its sustainability reporting. Despite the significant emissions figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Nordkalk, which suggests a need for enhanced commitment to climate action within the industry. The company has reported specific CO2 intensity metrics for its production processes, such as a quicklime CO2 intensity of about 1,110 kg CO2e per tonne in 2022. This highlights the importance of monitoring and improving production efficiency as part of their sustainability strategy. Overall, while Nordkalk has made strides in emissions reporting, further commitments and reduction initiatives would be beneficial for aligning with industry standards and climate goals.
