Sun Chemical's reported carbon emissions
In 2010, Sun Chemical Corporation reported approximately 2,000,000 kg CO2e in carbon emissions, primarily associated with the manufacturing and delivery of printing inks. This figure encompasses emissions from their supply chain, although specific scopes (Scope 1, 2, or 3) were not disclosed. As a current subsidiary of DIC Corporation, Sun Chemical's climate commitments and reduction targets are influenced by its parent company's initiatives. However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been documented for Sun Chemical itself. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be developing its climate strategy in alignment with industry standards. Overall, while Sun Chemical has reported significant emissions, the lack of specific reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its sustainability efforts and align with broader climate goals.
