In 2020, Arthrex, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 175,000 kg CO2e, primarily from gas usage, with no emissions reported from packaging. This figure represents a slight increase from 2019, when emissions were about 148,000 kg CO2e, and a further increase from 2018, which recorded approximately 160,000 kg CO2e. The emissions data does not specify whether these figures fall under Scope 1, 2, or 3 categories. Despite the reported emissions, Arthrex has not established any formal reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a lack of structured initiatives aimed at reducing their carbon footprint. The absence of Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or other reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, while Arthrex, Inc. has documented its emissions, it currently lacks significant climate commitments or reduction targets to address its environmental impact.
