Argenx's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Argenx reported total carbon emissions of approximately 231,769,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 3,788,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 534,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (market-based), and a significant 227,447,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major contributions from purchased goods and services (about 183,781,000 kg CO2e) and business travel (approximately 13,340,000 kg CO2e). In 2023, Argenx's total emissions were approximately 433,353,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 378,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 189,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 432,786,000 kg CO2e. The largest contributors to Scope 3 emissions were again purchased goods and services (around 378,956,000 kg CO2e) and capital goods (approximately 28,054,000 kg CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions figures, Argenx has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company does not appear to have cascaded emissions data from a parent organisation, and all reported figures are derived directly from Argenx SE. Overall, Argenx's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, particularly from their supply chain and operational activities, underscoring the need for comprehensive strategies to address these challenges in their climate commitments.
