Amicus's reported carbon emissions

In 2020, Amicus Therapeutics, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 302,400 kg CO2e. This figure represents the company's overall emissions but does not specify the breakdown into Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, as no detailed scope data has been disclosed. Currently, Amicus has not established any formal reduction targets or commitments, nor does it participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of specific climate pledges or reduction initiatives indicates that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As of now, there is no cascaded emissions data from a parent or related organization, meaning all reported figures are directly from Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. The company’s emissions data and climate commitments will be crucial for stakeholders looking to understand its environmental impact and future sustainability efforts.
