Let us know if this data was useful to you
Actelion Ltd, headquartered in Switzerland (CH), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, and as such, it inherits climate commitments and emissions data from its parent organisation. Actelion's climate initiatives are aligned with those of Johnson & Johnson, which has set ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions across its operations. These targets are cascaded down to Actelion at a third-level corporate relationship. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Actelion itself have not been disclosed. The company is involved in various sustainability initiatives, including participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project), both of which are led by Johnson & Johnson. These initiatives aim to enhance transparency and accountability in climate action, although specific metrics for Actelion are not provided. In summary, while Actelion Ltd is committed to climate action through its association with Johnson & Johnson, detailed emissions data and specific reduction targets for the company remain unavailable.
