Solvay France's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Syensqo SA/NV

As of the latest available data, Solvay France does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of recent emissions data. However, it is important to note that emissions data may be cascaded from its parent company, Solvay SA, which operates under a broader corporate sustainability framework. Solvay France is part of a corporate family that adheres to various climate initiatives, including the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are managed at the level of Solvay SA. This indicates a commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with global climate goals, although specific reduction targets for Solvay France have not been disclosed. The company is also involved in initiatives such as RE100 and the Climate Pledge, although specific commitments or targets from these initiatives have not been detailed. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction targets suggests that Solvay France may still be in the process of establishing or reporting its climate commitments. In summary, while Solvay France currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets, it is part of a larger corporate structure that is actively engaged in climate initiatives through its parent company, Solvay SA.
