Over the past few years, Vesuvius has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2022, the company emitted about 1,829,243,000 kg CO2e, which indicates a reduction in total emissions by approximately 239,911,000 kg CO2e from 2022 to 2023.

Despite these reductions, Vesuvius has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any formal climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively reducing emissions, it may not have formalised commitments to specific future reductions. Overall, Vesuvius's emissions data reflects a positive trend towards lower carbon emissions, aligning with broader industry efforts to mitigate climate change impacts.
