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, 12,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (market-based), and a significant 234,334,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This represents a decrease from 2022, where total emissions were about 270,793,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 12,352,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 13,032,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 at 245,409,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, emissions peaked at around 312,784,000 kg CO2e, indicating a positive trend in reducing overall emissions over the past two years. The company has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, demonstrating transparency in its reporting. Despite these reductions, Otto Bock's near-term climate targets have been removed, and there are currently no long-term targets or net-zero commitments in place. The company’s previous commitments have expired, reflecting a need for renewed climate action strategies. The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Ottobock SE & Co. KGaA, which is based in Germany and operates within the healthcare sector. Overall, while Otto Bock has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, the absence of formal climate targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to sustainability initiatives.
