Inherited from U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc.

U.S. Silica Company, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company is a current subsidiary of U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting.
