Abiomed, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Johnson & Johnson

Abiomed, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. As a current subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, any climate commitments or emissions data would be inherited from its parent company. Abiomed is aligned with several climate initiatives through Johnson & Johnson, including the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), CDP, and RE100, all of which are cascaded from Johnson & Johnson at a corporate family level. However, there are no specific reduction targets or achievements reported for Abiomed itself. The absence of direct emissions data suggests that Abiomed is still in the process of establishing its own climate commitments, while leveraging the sustainability framework and initiatives of Johnson & Johnson. This relationship indicates a commitment to broader corporate sustainability goals, although specific metrics for Abiomed's emissions and reduction targets remain unspecified.
