Safety-Kleen, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Clean Harbors, Inc.

Safety-Kleen, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Clean Harbors, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, Safety-Kleen has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Given its affiliation with Clean Harbors, Inc., any potential emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from this parent organisation. However, without explicit figures or targets from Clean Harbors, it is challenging to provide a detailed overview of Safety-Kleen's carbon footprint or climate action plans. In summary, while Safety-Kleen, Inc. is part of a larger corporate family that may have climate initiatives, specific emissions data and reduction commitments for the company itself are currently unavailable.
