Cerner's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Cerner Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 671.6 million kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 4.9 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 125.7 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 540.9 million kg CO2e. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals significant contributions from purchased goods and services (approximately 476.4 million kg CO2e), employee commuting (about 20.4 million kg CO2e), and business travel (approximately 17.7 million kg CO2e).
Cerner's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Cerner Corporation, and reflects its commitment to transparency in climate reporting. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments, such as those from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
As a current subsidiary of Oracle Corporation, Cerner's climate strategy may also align with broader corporate sustainability goals set by its parent company. Overall, while Cerner has made strides in emissions reporting, further details on reduction initiatives and targets would enhance its climate commitment profile.
