The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a lack of formalised commitments to reduce emissions at this time. Historically, Uniper's emissions have varied, with significant figures reported in previous years, such as 50,900,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021. The company has faced challenges in establishing clear reduction pathways, as evidenced by the absence of documented reduction targets. Overall, Uniper's emissions profile highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments and strategies to address its substantial carbon footprint, particularly in the context of global climate goals.
