Apellis Pharma's reported carbon emissions

Apellis Pharma, headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. Furthermore, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges available from the company. As a result, Apellis Pharma's climate commitments and initiatives remain unclear, and there is no inherited emissions data from a parent company or corporate family. The company may still be in the process of developing its sustainability strategies or reporting frameworks. In the context of the pharmaceutical industry, many companies are increasingly focusing on reducing their carbon footprints and setting science-based targets to align with global climate goals. However, without specific data or commitments from Apellis Pharma, it is challenging to assess their current standing in this regard.
