In 2021, RPM reported a total of approximately 188,000,000 kg CO2e in emissions, with 43,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 144,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have set any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets. RPM's emissions data for 2022 is currently unavailable, indicating a potential gap in their reporting or commitment to transparency in emissions management. The company operates globally, with significant emissions reported across various regions, including the US, where it reported 20,815,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 and 94,105,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions. RPM's commitment to addressing climate change remains unclear due to the absence of defined reduction strategies or pledges. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, RPM's lack of specific climate commitments may impact its competitive positioning in the market.
