BioAmber Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

BioAmber Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report any carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of specific figures in kg CO2e. Furthermore, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the company. This lack of data suggests that BioAmber may not have established formal commitments to reduce its carbon footprint or may not publicly disclose such information. In the context of the industry, companies are increasingly expected to set science-based targets and engage in initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3). However, without specific commitments or emissions data, it is challenging to assess BioAmber's position relative to these industry standards. As the climate landscape evolves, it will be crucial for BioAmber to consider developing and communicating its climate strategies to align with global sustainability goals.
