Otto Bock's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Otto Bock reported total carbon emissions of approximately 255,369,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 8,524,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 12,511,000 kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 234,334,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Compared to 2022, where total emissions were about 270,793,000 kg CO2e, this marks a reduction of approximately 15,424,000 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes (1, 2, and 3) for the years 2020 to 2023. Notably, Scope 3 emissions have consistently represented the largest portion of their total emissions, indicating a substantial impact from their supply chain and product lifecycle. Despite these figures, Otto Bock's near-term reduction targets have been removed, and they currently do not have a net-zero commitment. Their previous commitments have expired, reflecting a need for renewed climate action strategies. The company operates within the healthcare sector, which is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, highlighting the importance of robust climate commitments moving forward. The emissions data is cascaded from their parent company, Ottobock SE & Co. KGaA, ensuring that the reported figures are aligned with corporate family standards. As Otto Bock continues to navigate its climate responsibilities, the focus will likely shift towards establishing new targets and enhancing sustainability practices.
