Schnitzer Steel Billings, a subsidiary of Schnitzer Steel Industries, has not publicly disclosed specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year. As a result, there are no available figures regarding their total emissions in kg CO2e, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. The company does not currently have documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of specific targets suggests that Schnitzer Steel Billings may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. However, emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from its parent company, Schnitzer Steel Industries, or related entities such as Radius Recycling, Inc. This cascading of data indicates that any climate commitments or performance metrics would need to be assessed at the parent company level. In summary, while Schnitzer Steel Billings is part of a larger corporate family that may have climate initiatives, specific emissions data and reduction targets for the subsidiary remain unavailable. The company appears to be in the process of establishing its climate commitments within the broader context of its parent organisation's sustainability efforts.
