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).
