Anthem

Anthem, a US-based direct health and medical insurance carrier, is committed to reducing its environmental impact. For the reporting year 2025, Anthem reported total global GHG emissions of approximately 5.32 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises approximately 12.48 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 73.77 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and approximately 5.22 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. In 2024, total emissions were approximately 6.59 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 at about 14.39 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 84.28 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 6.49 billion kg CO2e.

For the reporting year 2022, Anthem's total emissions were approximately 9.69 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 15.73 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 81.29 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 9.60 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions in 2022 were significantly driven by purchased goods and services (about 4.68 billion kg CO2e) and investments (about 4.75 billion kg CO2e). In 2021, total emissions were approximately 1.00 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 11.80 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (location-based) at approximately 73.70 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 947.30 million kg CO2e, predominantly from purchased goods and services (about 838.10 million kg CO2e).

Anthem has established science-based targets (SBTi) for emissions reductions. The company commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions by 46.2% by 2030, using 2019 as the base year. Furthermore, Anthem pledges to continue actively sourcing 100% renewable electricity annually through 2030 and aims for 75% of its suppliers by spend (covering purchased goods and services) to have science-based targets by 2028. These targets are considered consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C. Anthem also has a long-term commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
