Rpm's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, RPM International Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 143,583,000 kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This figure reflects the company's ongoing commitment to sustainability, although specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed. The company has not reported any Scope 3 emissions, indicating a focus primarily on direct and indirect emissions from its operations. RPM's emissions data is inherited from its parent company, RPM International Inc., and does not include specific reduction targets from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that while RPM acknowledges its carbon footprint, it has yet to establish formal commitments to reduce emissions. Overall, RPM's emissions for 2023 highlight the need for enhanced climate strategies and transparency in its sustainability efforts.
