As of the latest available data, GALAPAGOS has not reported any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of publicly disclosed emissions data. Consequently, there are no absolute emissions numbers to analyse, including Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. In terms of climate commitments, GALAPAGOS has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they made any climate pledges. This absence of data suggests that the organisation may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. It is important to note that emissions data is not cascaded from any parent or related organisation, and GALAPAGOS operates independently in this regard. As the company progresses, it may consider adopting industry-standard climate initiatives and setting measurable targets to enhance its sustainability profile.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
GALAPAGOS is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
