Abbott Diagnostics GmbH's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Abbott Laboratories

Abbott Diagnostics GmbH, headquartered in Germany, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. The company is a current subsidiary of Abbott Laboratories, which cascades its climate commitments and targets down to its subsidiaries. Abbott Laboratories has established various climate initiatives, including Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments, which are relevant to Abbott Diagnostics GmbH. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Abbott Diagnostics GmbH are not detailed in the available data. As a subsidiary, Abbott Diagnostics GmbH aligns with the broader sustainability goals set by Abbott Laboratories, which may include commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 categories. The absence of specific emissions data suggests that the company is in the process of developing or implementing its own climate strategies in line with its parent company's initiatives. In summary, while Abbott Diagnostics GmbH does not currently report specific emissions figures, it is part of a corporate family that is actively engaged in climate commitments through Abbott Laboratories, which may influence its future sustainability efforts.
