Let us know if this data was useful to you
Shintech, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. While there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Shintech itself, it is important to note that emissions data and climate initiatives may be inherited from its parent company, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. This relationship suggests that Shintech may align its sustainability efforts with the broader goals set by its parent organisation. As of now, Shintech has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or initiatives such as those outlined by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The lack of specific emissions data and reduction targets indicates that Shintech may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. In summary, while Shintech does not currently provide specific emissions data or reduction commitments, its affiliation with Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. may play a role in shaping its future climate initiatives.
