This figure includes 391,640,750 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 215,606,520 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Additionally, the company recorded Scope 3 emissions of about 655,210 kg CO2e, which encompass all other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain. Despite the significant emissions reported, Polymer S.A. has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. There are no commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges noted in the available data. Furthermore, the emissions data is not cascaded from any parent or related organization, indicating that these figures are solely attributed to Polymer S.A. itself. Overall, while Polymer S.A. has substantial emissions, the absence of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
