In 2023, Align Technology, headquartered in the US, reported carbon emissions of approximately 3,900,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 39,200,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a slight increase in emissions compared to 2022, where Scope 1 emissions were around 3,400,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 36,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Align Technology has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets indicates a potential area for future commitment in climate action. The company’s emissions data is sourced directly from Align Technology, Inc., with no cascaded data from a parent or related organization. Overall, while Align Technology has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of reduction targets suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate commitments.
