As of 2023, PPC Ltd has not disclosed any new emissions data, and there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their recent reports. The company has not cascaded any emissions data from a parent organisation, indicating that all reported figures are derived directly from PPC Ltd's own assessments.

The absence of specific climate commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are still developing comprehensive strategies to reduce their carbon footprints.
