Allergan's reported carbon emissions

In 2017, Allergan reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 250,000,000 kg CO2e across all scopes, with specific emissions of about 88,190,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and approximately 46,800,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based). The company has consistently disclosed emissions data for Scopes 1, 2, and 3 from 2013 onwards, demonstrating a commitment to transparency in its climate impact. Allergan's emissions have shown fluctuations over the years, with a notable increase in Scope 1 emissions from about 23,423,000 kg CO2e in 2010 to 88,190,000 kg CO2e in 2017. However, the company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a potential area for improvement in its sustainability strategy. Overall, Allergan's emissions data reflects its operational footprint, but the absence of defined reduction targets suggests that the company may need to enhance its climate action plans to align with industry standards and expectations for corporate responsibility in addressing climate change.
