SOCFIN Group's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, SOCFIN Group does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of detailed emissions data for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Socfinasia S.A., which may influence its climate reporting and commitments. SOCFIN Group has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Additionally, there are no climate pledges or significant reduction achievements reported. The emissions data may be inherited from its parent company, Société Financière des Caoutchoucs S.A., which could provide context for SOCFIN's climate strategy. However, without specific emissions data or reduction commitments, it is challenging to assess SOCFIN Group's overall carbon footprint or climate impact. In summary, SOCFIN Group currently lacks detailed emissions reporting and specific climate commitments, reflecting a broader industry context where many companies are still developing their sustainability strategies.
