In 2023, Alvotech reported total carbon emissions of approximately 923,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 20,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 209,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, primarily related to purchased electricity. The majority of their emissions, about 555,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which includes indirect emissions from activities such as business travel and waste generated in operations. Comparatively, in 2022, Alvotech's total emissions were approximately 957,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 19,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 217,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were significantly higher, at around 721,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Alvotech has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. As a company headquartered in Luxembourg (LU), Alvotech is positioned to align with European climate goals, which increasingly emphasise sustainability and emissions reduction.
