Cordis Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Cardinal Health, Inc.

Cordis Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. As a current subsidiary of Cardinal Health, Inc., any emissions data or climate commitments would be inherited from this parent organisation. Cordis Corporation has not publicly disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives related to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of detailed emissions data suggests that the company may still be in the process of establishing its own climate strategy or reporting framework. As part of its corporate family, Cordis Corporation may align with Cardinal Health, Inc.'s sustainability efforts, which could include broader industry commitments to reduce carbon footprints and enhance environmental stewardship. However, without specific data or targets from Cordis itself, it is challenging to provide a comprehensive overview of its climate commitments.
