Specialty Minerals Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Minerals Technologies Inc.

Specialty Minerals Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Minerals Technologies Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. As of now, Specialty Minerals Inc. has not established any documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The absence of specific initiatives or targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy or relies on the broader commitments of its parent organisation, Minerals Technologies Inc. Given the lack of direct emissions data and reduction initiatives, it is essential for Specialty Minerals Inc. to align with industry standards and consider adopting science-based targets to enhance its sustainability profile. This approach would not only contribute to global climate goals but also improve its competitive standing in an increasingly environmentally conscious market.
