Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Johnson & Johnson

Actelion Pharmaceuticals 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 emissions data and climate commitments from its parent organisation. Actelion's climate initiatives are aligned with those of Johnson & Johnson, which has set ambitious targets for reducing carbon emissions across its operations. These initiatives include commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and the RE100 initiative, all of which are cascaded from Johnson & Johnson. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Actelion itself have not been disclosed. As a subsidiary, Actelion is expected to contribute to the overarching sustainability goals of Johnson & Johnson, which include significant reductions in Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. The company is committed to advancing climate action, although detailed metrics and specific targets for Actelion have not been provided.
