DePuy Spine, LLC's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Johnson & Johnson

DePuy Spine, LLC, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. As a current subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, any emissions data or climate commitments would be inherited from its parent company. Johnson & Johnson has established various climate initiatives, including Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments, which are cascaded down to DePuy Spine. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for DePuy Spine itself are not detailed. The company is part of broader sustainability efforts led by Johnson & Johnson, which include commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across its operations. As of now, DePuy Spine has not publicly outlined its own distinct climate pledges or reduction initiatives. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction targets indicates that the company may still be in the process of developing its individual climate strategy, while aligning with the overarching goals set by Johnson & Johnson.
