Gulf Pharmaceutical's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Gulf Pharmaceutical reported total carbon emissions of approximately 35,100 kg CO2e, comprising about 6,300 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 29,400 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marks a slight decrease from 2022, where emissions were about 35,800 kg CO2e. Over the years, the company has shown a trend of reducing its emissions, with a notable drop from approximately 34,300,000 kg CO2e in 2020 to 35,100 kg CO2e in 2023. Despite these reductions, Gulf Pharmaceutical has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of formal climate pledges suggests that while the company is making progress in reducing its emissions, there is potential for more structured commitments to enhance their climate strategy. Overall, Gulf Pharmaceutical's emissions data reflects a commitment to reducing their carbon footprint, although further transparency and formal targets could strengthen their climate commitments in the pharmaceutical industry.
