Brigham and Women's Hospital's reported carbon emissions

Brigham and Women's Hospital, located in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The hospital is a current subsidiary of Mass General Brigham Incorporated, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or significant climate initiatives directly attributed to Brigham and Women's Hospital. However, it is important to note that any climate commitments or targets would likely be aligned with those set by its parent organisation, Mass General Brigham Incorporated, which operates at a broader level. The hospital's climate strategy may include participation in industry-standard initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are cascaded from Mass General Brigham Incorporated. This indicates a commitment to addressing climate change, although specific targets or achievements have not been disclosed. In summary, while Brigham and Women's Hospital is part of a larger organisational framework that may have climate commitments, specific emissions data and reduction targets are currently unavailable.
