SK On Co., Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from SK Innovation Co., Ltd.

SK On Co., Ltd., headquartered in South Korea (KR), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of SK Innovation Co., Ltd., which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. As of now, SK On Co., Ltd. has not publicly disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company is still in the process of establishing its climate strategy. The emissions data and climate initiatives may be influenced by the parent company, SK Innovation Co., Ltd., which has its own climate commitments and performance metrics. However, specific details regarding these metrics or targets have not been provided in the available data. In summary, while SK On Co., Ltd. is part of a larger corporate family with potential climate initiatives, it currently lacks specific emissions data and defined reduction targets. The company may benefit from aligning its climate commitments with those of SK Innovation Co., Ltd. to enhance its sustainability profile.
