The company has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, suggesting a need for further clarity on its long-term climate strategy. The emissions data from previous years shows a trend of fluctuating emissions, with a peak of approximately 34,366,000 kg CO2e in 2021.
