POSCO Processing & Service Co., Ltd., Steel Distribution, Processing and Scrap Business Sector's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Posco International Corporation

POSCO Processing & Service Co., Ltd., operating in the Steel Distribution, Processing, and Scrap Business Sector, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is part of a corporate family that includes Posco International Corporation and POSCO Holdings Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As a merged entity, POSCO Processing & Service Co., Ltd. inherits climate-related initiatives and targets from its parent organisations. Notably, emissions data and performance metrics are cascaded from Posco International Corporation, which operates at a level above this entity. However, specific reduction targets or achievements have not been disclosed, and there are no documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments available for this sector. In the context of the steel industry, which is known for its significant carbon footprint, POSCO Processing & Service Co., Ltd. is expected to align with broader industry standards and practices aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The lack of specific data highlights the need for enhanced transparency and commitment to climate action within the organisation.
