Avanos Medical, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Avanos Medical, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 11,695,770 kg CO2e. This figure includes 229,240 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 11,466,530 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Currently, there are no disclosed reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing these emissions, nor are there any commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of specific climate pledges indicates that while Avanos Medical is aware of its carbon footprint, it has not yet established formal goals for emissions reduction. As a company headquartered in the US, Avanos Medical operates within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and climate responsibility. The absence of detailed climate commitments may reflect a broader trend in the medical device sector, where companies are beginning to prioritise environmental impact but may still be in the early stages of formalising their strategies.
