VRX Silica's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, VRX Silica reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 19,444,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 56,708,000 kg CO2e. As of 2023 and 2024, the company has not disclosed any emissions data, indicating a potential gap in reporting for those years. Currently, VRX Silica does not have any publicly stated reduction targets or commitments, nor does it participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of specific climate pledges suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, while VRX Silica has reported emissions data for 2021, the lack of recent disclosures and reduction initiatives highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and transparency in emissions reporting.
