NOVA Chemicals Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from NOVA Chemicals Corporation

NOVA Chemicals Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of NOVA Chemicals Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Despite the lack of specific emissions data, NOVA Chemicals Inc. is part of a broader industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon reduction. The company has not publicly outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or similar frameworks. As a subsidiary, NOVA Chemicals Inc. may align its climate strategies with those of its parent company, but specific details on such alignment or any cascading targets from the parent organisation are not available. The absence of detailed emissions reporting and reduction commitments highlights a potential area for improvement in transparency and accountability regarding climate impact.
