Rio Tinto Alcan Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Rio Tinto plc

Rio Tinto Alcan Inc., headquartered in Canada, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Rio Tinto Group, which influences its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As part of its corporate family, emissions data and climate initiatives may be inherited from Rio Tinto Group, which operates at a higher cascade level. Notably, Rio Tinto Group has been active in climate-related initiatives, including participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and the Climate Action 100+ initiative, which aim to enhance transparency and accountability in emissions reporting. However, Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or achievements related to its carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction initiatives or Science Based Targets (SBTi) commitments indicates that the company may still be in the process of developing its climate strategy. In summary, while Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. is part of a larger corporate structure that engages in climate initiatives, specific emissions data and reduction commitments for the company itself are currently unavailable.
