EMD Serono, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Merck KGaA

EMD Serono, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Merck KGaA, which cascades its climate commitments and performance data down to EMD Serono. As part of its parent company's initiatives, EMD Serono aligns with the sustainability goals set by Merck KGaA, which include various reduction targets and commitments to climate action. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for EMD Serono itself have not been detailed in the available data. The absence of direct emissions data suggests that EMD Serono is still in the process of establishing its own specific climate commitments, while relying on the broader framework and initiatives of Merck KGaA. This includes adherence to industry-standard climate terminology and practices, as well as potential participation in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are managed at the parent company level. In summary, while EMD Serono, Inc. does not currently report specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is positioned within a corporate family that is actively engaged in climate commitments through its parent company, Merck KGaA.
