Occidental Chemical Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Occidental Petroleum Corporation

Occidental Chemical Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges directly attributed to Occidental Chemical Corporation. However, emissions data and climate initiatives may be inherited from its parent company, Occidental Petroleum Corporation. This includes participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and Climate Action 100+ initiatives, which aim to enhance corporate accountability regarding climate change. Given the absence of specific emissions figures, it is essential to note that the company is likely aligned with broader industry standards and practices regarding carbon emissions and climate commitments, as dictated by its parent organisation. Further details on specific emissions and reduction targets may be available through Occidental Petroleum Corporation's disclosures.
