The company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or commitments through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Additionally, there are no reported Scope 3 emissions, indicating a focus on direct and indirect emissions from energy consumption. Qatar Steel's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Qatar Steel Company (Q.P.S.C.), and is influenced by the broader corporate family relationship with Industries Qatar Q.P.S.C. This context highlights the company's commitment to sustainability within the iron and steel industry, which is known for its high carbon intensity. Overall, while Qatar Steel has made strides in reducing its emissions, further transparency regarding future climate commitments and specific reduction targets would enhance its sustainability profile.
