Rockwood Holdings, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Albemarle Corporation

Rockwood Holdings, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Albemarle Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, Rockwood Holdings has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of specific emissions data suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy or reporting framework. Given its relationship with Albemarle Corporation, any climate initiatives or emissions data may be inherited from this parent company. Albemarle Corporation's performance and climate commitments could provide insights into Rockwood's potential strategies, although specific figures and targets are not disclosed at this time. In summary, while Rockwood Holdings, Inc. does not currently report emissions data or reduction targets, its affiliation with Albemarle Corporation may play a role in shaping its future climate commitments.
