This data reflects their direct and indirect emissions from operations and energy consumption. 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 shown variability, with previous years indicating emissions of approximately 3,032,402,000 kg CO2e in 2017 and 3,078,507,000 kg CO2e in 2016. The company has not provided emissions data for the years 2019 to 2021, which limits the ability to assess trends over time. Overall, while Sipchem has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the petrochemical industry.
