Let us know if this data was useful to you
Express Scripts, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The organisation is a current subsidiary of The Cigna Group, which influences its climate commitments and targets. As part of its corporate family, Express Scripts inherits sustainability initiatives and targets from The Cigna Group, including those related to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the RE100 commitment. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Express Scripts itself have not been disclosed. The absence of detailed emissions data suggests that Express Scripts is still in the process of establishing its own climate strategy, while aligning with the broader sustainability goals set by its parent company. This context highlights the importance of corporate responsibility in the healthcare sector, particularly in addressing climate change and reducing carbon footprints.
