PQ Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Ecovyst Inc.

PQ Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Ecovyst Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, PQ Corporation has not established any documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges. Given the absence of direct emissions data, it is important to note that PQ Corporation's climate initiatives may be informed by the broader sustainability strategies of its parent company, Ecovyst Inc. However, without explicit targets or achievements reported, the company's individual climate commitments remain unclear. As a subsidiary, PQ Corporation may benefit from the sustainability frameworks and initiatives implemented by Ecovyst Inc., but specific details regarding emissions reductions or climate strategies have not been disclosed. The company is positioned within an industry increasingly focused on reducing carbon footprints, and it may align its efforts with the evolving standards set by its parent organisation.
