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 faced challenges. Notably, their near-term reduction targets have been removed, and their long-term targets are classified as expired commitments. This indicates a shift in their climate strategy, with no active targets currently in place. 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 initiatives, it is unclear how the company plans to address its carbon emissions moving forward. The absence of a net-zero commitment further highlights the need for a renewed focus on climate action within the organisation.
