KOGAS has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. However, the company is actively engaged in monitoring and reporting its emissions across all three scopes, indicating a commitment to transparency in its environmental impact. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that KOGAS may still be in the process of developing a comprehensive strategy to address its carbon footprint.
