Abbott Laboratories GmbH's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Abbott Laboratories

Abbott Laboratories GmbH, headquartered in Germany, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of Abbott Laboratories, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from Abbott Laboratories GmbH, it is important to note that the parent company, Abbott Laboratories, has established various sustainability initiatives. These initiatives may include commitments to reduce emissions and improve environmental performance, although specific details are not provided in the available data. As a subsidiary, Abbott Laboratories GmbH may align its climate strategies with those of its parent company, potentially inheriting targets and initiatives aimed at reducing carbon footprints. However, without explicit data or commitments from Abbott Laboratories GmbH itself, the specifics of its climate actions remain unclear. In summary, Abbott Laboratories GmbH currently lacks detailed emissions data and specific reduction targets, but it may be influenced by the broader sustainability efforts of its parent company, Abbott Laboratories.
