Exact Sciences's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Exact Sciences reported total carbon emissions of approximately 145,112 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 3,074.7 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 13,993 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 128,045 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The Scope 3 emissions were primarily driven by business travel (43,691 kg CO2e), employee commuting (69,623 kg CO2e), and upstream and downstream transportation and distribution (7,944 kg CO2e and 6,786 kg CO2e, respectively). In 2023, the company’s global emissions were notably higher, totalling approximately 12,177,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 17,957,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 6,930,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This indicates a substantial reliance on both direct and indirect emissions sources, particularly from purchased electricity and mobile combustion. Exact Sciences has committed to near-term carbon reduction targets, although specific numerical targets have not been disclosed. The company is actively engaged in climate initiatives, as evidenced by its participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), where it has committed to reducing emissions. However, it has not yet set a net-zero target. The emissions data and climate commitments are sourced directly from Exact Sciences Corporation, with no cascaded data from parent or related organizations. The company continues to focus on enhancing its sustainability practices and reducing its carbon footprint in alignment with industry standards.
