The company is a current subsidiary of Alkermes plc, and its emissions data may be influenced by the broader corporate family context. Alkermes has not outlined any specific climate pledges or reduction initiatives in the available data. However, the company’s focus on emissions per employee suggests an ongoing effort to improve its environmental performance. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Alkermes may need to establish clearer climate commitments to align with global standards and stakeholder expectations.
