As of the latest available data, CRISPR Therapeutics AG has reported greenhouse gas emissions from 2012 to 2016, with the most recent figure being approximately 1,540,000 kg CO2e in 2016. This reflects a gradual decrease from about 1,880,000 kg CO2e in 2012, indicating a commitment to reducing their carbon footprint over the years. The emissions reported are classified under a scope that is not specifically defined, which limits the clarity on whether they fall under Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. Notably, there are no disclosed reduction targets or initiatives from the company, nor any commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, while CRISPR Therapeutics AG has shown a trend of decreasing emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets or climate pledges suggests that further transparency and commitment may be needed to align with industry standards for climate action.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
CRISPR Therapeutics AG is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
