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 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.
