deCODE genetics ehf's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Amgen Inc.

deCODE genetics ehf, headquartered in Iceland, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Amgen Inc., which influences its climate commitments and reporting practices. As part of its corporate family relationship, deCODE genetics may align its climate initiatives with those of Amgen Inc., which has established various reduction targets and initiatives. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for deCODE genetics are not detailed in the available information. The absence of direct emissions data suggests that deCODE genetics is still in the process of developing its own climate strategy or may rely on the broader commitments of its parent company. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, it is expected that deCODE genetics will adopt similar measures to address carbon emissions and contribute to climate action.
