Applied Biosystems, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.

Applied Biosystems, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is part of a corporate family that includes Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., from which it inherits emissions data and climate commitments. As a merged entity, Applied Biosystems aligns its climate initiatives with those of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., which has set various reduction targets and participates in industry-standard climate initiatives. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Applied Biosystems are not detailed in the available information. The absence of direct emissions data suggests that Applied Biosystems is still in the process of establishing its own climate commitments or may rely on the broader strategies of its parent company. The company is expected to adhere to the climate pledges and initiatives cascaded from Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., which include participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and other sustainability frameworks. In summary, while Applied Biosystems, Inc. does not currently report specific emissions figures or reduction targets, it is positioned within a corporate structure that prioritises climate action through inherited commitments from Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.
