Silgan Plastics's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Silgan Holdings Inc.

Silgan Plastics, headquartered in the United States, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of figures in kg CO2e. The company has previously engaged in climate commitments, but these have been retracted; their near-term targets have been classified as "expired commitment" as of July 2021. Silgan Plastics is a subsidiary of Silgan Plastics Corporation, which may influence its climate strategy and reporting. The emissions data and climate initiatives are cascaded from Silgan Plastics Corporation, with no current commitments to net-zero emissions or long-term reduction targets. As part of the containers and packaging sector, Silgan Plastics is positioned within an industry that is increasingly focused on sustainability and reducing carbon footprints. However, without specific emissions data or active reduction targets, the company's current climate impact remains unclear.
