ArthroCare Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Smith & Nephew plc

ArthroCare Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Smith & Nephew plc, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While ArthroCare has not established its own reduction targets or climate pledges, it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be cascaded from its parent company, Smith & Nephew plc. This relationship suggests that any climate initiatives or targets may align with those set by Smith & Nephew, although specific details regarding these initiatives are not provided. In the context of the medical technology industry, companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon reduction. ArthroCare's commitment to climate action may evolve as it aligns with broader industry standards and practices, particularly those adopted by its parent organisation.
