Does a company have to establish objectives and targets for each covered toxic (i.e., TURA-reportable toxic)?
Objectives and targets should be established for each covered toxic. However, while a company must designate all covered toxics as significant aspects and should consider in its planning how to address the impacts of its covered toxics, it may choose not to set quantitative objectives and targets for every covered toxic (e.g., if there are no feasible alternatives). Each company has unique criteria that it uses to assign significance of identified aspects, which typically include the number of significant aspects that it can reasonably address in any one year. Therefore, it is conceivable that a company identify its use of a covered toxic as significant, but not assign a specific, quantifiable objective and target for that aspect because other significant aspects have been deemed to take precedence.
