Alere Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Abbott Laboratories

Alere Inc., headquartered in California, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Abbott Laboratories, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While Alere Inc. does not have its own documented reduction targets or climate pledges, it is important to note that any potential climate initiatives or targets may be cascaded from Abbott Laboratories. Abbott Laboratories has established science-based targets (SBTi) and participates in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), which could inform Alere's climate strategy at a corporate family level. As of now, Alere Inc. has not publicly committed to specific reduction initiatives or targets, reflecting a broader context within the industry where many companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and emissions reduction.
