The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Glatfelter has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it participate in recognised frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The emissions data is cascaded from Glatfelter Corporation, indicating a corporate family relationship that influences its reporting. Overall, while Glatfelter has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the absence of reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate strategy.
