Samyang does not currently disclose Scope 3 emissions data. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. However, it is important to note that emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Samyang Corporation, indicating a corporate family relationship that influences its environmental reporting. Overall, while Samyang has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
