Currently, VRX Silica has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of formal commitments suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As VRX Silica continues to assess its environmental impact, it is crucial for the organisation to consider setting measurable reduction targets to align with industry standards and contribute to global climate goals.
