This total includes Scope 1 emissions of about 156,567,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 55,410,000 kg CO2e. Notably, in the US, the company emitted around 121,930,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 and 44,033,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2. Despite these figures, Sensient Technologies has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the industry context. As a company headquartered in the US, Sensient is positioned to align with global sustainability trends, yet it currently lacks formal pledges or targets to mitigate its emissions effectively. Overall, while Sensient Technologies has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of clear reduction strategies highlights an opportunity for the company to strengthen its climate commitments and contribute more significantly to global sustainability efforts.
