In 2017, Allergan, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 250 million kg CO2e. This figure includes 88.2 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 46.8 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (market-based), and 250 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has consistently reported significant Scope 3 emissions, which have remained at 250 million kg CO2e since 2015. Allergan's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, AbbVie Inc., indicating a corporate family relationship that influences its climate commitments. However, Allergan has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate strategy, and there are no documented reduction initiatives or SBTi targets available. Overall, Allergan's commitment to addressing climate change remains unclear, with no specific pledges or reduction targets outlined in the available data. The company continues to report its emissions transparently, but further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate commitments.
