Despite these figures, Australian Clinical Labs Limited has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or science-based targets indicates a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. The company’s emissions intensity for Scope 1 and 2 combined is reported at about 2.83 kg CO2e per employee in 2023 and 2.85 kg CO2e per employee in 2024, reflecting a stable operational efficiency in terms of emissions per workforce member.
