REX American Resources Corporation's reported carbon emissions

In 2016, REX American Resources Corporation reported total Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 116,829,000 kg CO2e. However, there is no recent emissions data available for 2020 or beyond, indicating a lack of updated disclosures on their carbon footprint. The company has not set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies. REX American Resources Corporation's emissions data does not include Scope 3 emissions, which are often significant in the context of overall corporate carbon footprints. The absence of detailed emissions reporting and reduction initiatives highlights a potential gap in their climate commitments, especially in an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and carbon neutrality. Overall, while REX American Resources Corporation has reported substantial emissions in the past, their current climate commitments and reduction strategies remain unclear, necessitating further transparency and action in addressing climate change.
