Cook Medical Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Cook Medical Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 96,000 kg CO2e, comprising 4,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 12,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 84,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marks a significant reduction from previous years, where in 2023, the company emitted about 3,719,356 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions each at approximately 1,859,678 kg CO2e. In 2022, emissions were notably higher, with Scope 1 at about 20,975,800 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 2,095,890 kg CO2e. The 2021 figures were even more substantial, with Scope 1 emissions reaching about 24,330,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 75,670,000 kg CO2e. Despite these reductions, Cook Medical has not set specific science-based targets (SBTi) or documented reduction initiatives. The company operates as a current subsidiary of Cook Medical Inc., and all emissions data is sourced directly from their reporting. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data in 2023 and prior years indicates a potential area for future focus in their climate commitments. Overall, Cook Medical's emissions trajectory reflects a commitment to reducing their carbon footprint, although further transparency regarding specific reduction targets would enhance their climate strategy.
