The company is part of a corporate family that includes Posco International Corporation and POSCO Holdings Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from POSCO ENERGY, it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from its parent companies. For instance, emissions data from Posco International Corporation, which operates at a cascade level of 1, could provide insights into the broader environmental impact of the group. Additionally, initiatives such as Climate Action 100+ (CA100) are linked to POSCO Holdings Inc. at a cascade level of 2, potentially shaping the climate strategy of POSCO ENERGY. As the company continues to navigate its climate commitments, it remains essential for stakeholders to monitor any future disclosures regarding emissions and reduction initiatives.
