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 are primarily driven by purchased goods and services, which account for about 183,781,000 kg CO2e. In comparison, the 2023 emissions data indicated a total of 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. This highlights a notable reduction in total emissions from 2023 to 2024. Despite these figures, Argenx has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively measuring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised strategies for significant reductions in the near future.
