Vulcan Performance Chemicals, Industrial Water Treatment and Pulp and Paper Businesses's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Kemira Oyj

Vulcan Performance Chemicals, Industrial Water Treatment and Pulp and Paper Businesses, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The organisation's climate commitments and reduction initiatives are inherited from its parent company, Kemira Oyj, at a cascade level of 2. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from Vulcan Performance Chemicals. The absence of emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. For context, Kemira Oyj, the source of the cascaded data, is known for its commitment to sustainability and has set various targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, specific details regarding Vulcan's individual targets or achievements in emissions reduction are not available at this time. Overall, while Vulcan Performance Chemicals is part of a larger corporate family with established climate commitments, it currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction initiatives of its own.
