Rakon has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor have they made any pledges to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Rakon is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for significant emissions reductions.
