Silgan Plastics's reported carbon emissions

Silgan Plastics, headquartered in the United States, currently does not have available carbon emissions data for the most recent year. The company has previously engaged in climate commitments, but these have since been removed or expired. Notably, their near-term reduction targets have been classified as an "expired commitment," indicating a lack of active goals for reducing emissions at this time. As of the latest information, Silgan Plastics has not established long-term targets or a net-zero commitment. This absence of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives highlights a potential gap in their climate strategy within the containers and packaging sector. The company may need to reassess its approach to sustainability and emissions reduction to align with industry standards and expectations.
