Align Technology's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Align Technology reported significant carbon emissions from its operations in Switzerland, totalling approximately 39,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 39,200,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting, although no data was disclosed for Scope 3 emissions. The company has shown a consistent approach to measuring its carbon footprint, with emissions data available for previous years as well. In 2022, Align Technology's emissions in Switzerland were approximately 3,400,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 36,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Align Technology has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively measuring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a strategy for reducing its carbon footprint. Align Technology operates under the corporate umbrella of Align Technology, Inc., which is based in the US, and the emissions data reported is not cascaded from any parent organisation. The company continues to focus on its operational emissions while navigating the broader industry context of climate commitments.
