The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data for this year. Amyris has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, although specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been outlined in the available data. The company has previously reported emissions data for 2020, which included 2,609,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 and 11,203,140 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, indicating a significant reliance on indirect emissions sources. The emissions data for 2021 reflects a comprehensive approach to tracking and managing carbon emissions, with a focus on both direct and indirect sources. However, there are no specific climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets reported, suggesting that while Amyris is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised ambitious reduction commitments. Overall, Amyris's emissions data highlights the need for ongoing efforts to enhance transparency and establish concrete climate commitments in line with industry standards.
