Orion Engineered Carbons GmbH's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, Orion Engineered Carbons GmbH reported a GHG intensity of approximately -5.0 kg CO2e per commodity, although specific total emissions data for Scope 1, 2, and 3 were not disclosed. This trend of not providing detailed emissions data has been consistent in previous years, with similar GHG intensity figures reported for 2019 and 2018. Orion Engineered Carbons GmbH is a current subsidiary of Orion S.A., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. However, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for Orion Engineered Carbons GmbH, nor are there any initiatives such as SBTi targets or CDP disclosures that have been cascaded from its parent company. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction initiatives highlights a potential area for improvement in transparency and commitment to climate action within the organisation.
