Akebia Therapeutics, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Akebia Therapeutics, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data or specific reduction targets. Without reported emissions figures, it is challenging to assess their carbon footprint or the scope of their emissions (Scope 1, 2, or 3). Additionally, there are no documented climate commitments or initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As the biopharmaceutical industry increasingly focuses on sustainability, Akebia's lack of disclosed climate strategies may reflect a broader trend within the sector, where many companies are still developing their environmental policies.
