Norsk Hydro's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Norsk Hydro ASA

Norsk Hydro, headquartered in Belgium, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the latest year, as no emissions figures are available. The company is a current subsidiary of Norsk Hydro ASA, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Despite the absence of specific emissions data, Norsk Hydro is engaged in various climate initiatives. However, there are no documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other frameworks. The company is likely to align with broader industry standards and practices, but specific details on their climate pledges or reduction strategies are not provided. As a subsidiary, Norsk Hydro may inherit climate performance data and initiatives from its parent company, Norsk Hydro ASA, which could impact its overall sustainability strategy. The lack of detailed emissions reporting highlights the need for enhanced transparency and commitment to climate action within the organisation.
