Historically, Sucden's emissions have fluctuated, with total emissions of approximately 612,344,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and 522,453,000 kg CO2e in 2020. The company has not established any formal reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other frameworks, which may limit their accountability in addressing climate change. Overall, while Sucden has made strides in reporting their emissions, the absence of clear reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate action and commitment to sustainability practices.
