Nissan Chemical has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organisation, indicating that it operates independently in its reporting and climate commitments. Overall, while Nissan Chemical has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of clear reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
