Sun Chemical's reported carbon emissions
In 2010, Sun Chemical reported approximately 2,000,000 kg CO2e in carbon emissions from its printing ink manufacturing and delivery processes. This figure encompasses emissions from the entire supply chain, although specific scopes (Scope 1, 2, or 3) were not disclosed. The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, DIC Corporation, indicating a corporate family relationship that influences its sustainability reporting. Currently, Sun Chemical has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it disclose any initiatives aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. The absence of defined targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the industry context, particularly as global pressure mounts for companies to address climate change proactively. As a subsidiary of DIC Corporation, Sun Chemical's climate strategies may align with broader corporate sustainability goals, but specific initiatives or targets have not been detailed in the available data.
