The emissions data from these years indicates a focus on transparency, as SolarWorld has disclosed emissions across all three scopes. Despite the emissions data available, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for SolarWorld Aktiengesellschaft. The absence of formal commitments suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, while SolarWorld has provided emissions data for previous years, it appears that further initiatives and commitments towards carbon reduction are needed to align with industry standards and expectations for climate action.
