The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. However, it is important to note that Semapa's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organization, and all reported figures are directly attributed to Semapa - Sociedade de Investimento e Gestão, SGPS, S.A. Overall, while Semapa has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate commitments.
