Sipchem has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organization, indicating that these figures are independently reported. Historically, Sipchem's emissions have varied, with total emissions recorded at approximately 3,032,402,000 kg CO2e in 2017, and a notable decrease in emissions intensity per tonne of fabricated product, which was about 730 kg CO2e in 2022 compared to 750 kg CO2e in 2021. This trend suggests a commitment to improving operational efficiency, although specific reduction strategies remain unspecified. Overall, while Sipchem has made strides in emissions reporting, further clarity on their climate commitments and reduction initiatives would enhance their sustainability profile.
