In 2024, Genmab reported total carbon emissions of approximately 189,673,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 534,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 1,163,000 kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 187,976,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The latter category encompasses various activities, with purchased goods and services contributing about 164,449,000 kg CO2e, followed by business travel at approximately 10,559,000 kg CO2e. In 2023, Genmab's total emissions were about 151,463,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 317,000 kg CO2e and market-based Scope 2 emissions at 238,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were approximately 150,908,000 kg CO2e, again primarily driven by purchased goods and services. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Genmab has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company does not appear to have cascaded any emissions data from a parent organization, and all reported figures are derived directly from Genmab A/S. Overall, Genmab's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, particularly from purchased goods and services, indicating potential areas for future reduction efforts.

Genmab's Scope 3 emissions, which increased by 25% last year and increased by approximately 28% since 2022, demonstrating supply chain emissions tracking. Nearly all of their carbon footprint comes from suppliers and value chain emissions, representing nearly all emissions under the GHG Protocol, with "Purchased Goods and Services" being the largest emissions source at 87% of Scope 3 emissions.
Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.
Genmab has not publicly committed to specific 2030 or 2050 climate goals through the major frameworks we track. Companies often set interim 2030 targets and long-term 2050 net-zero goals to demonstrate measurable progress toward decarbonization.
