Genomatica's reported carbon emissions

Genomatica, headquartered in the US, currently does not report any carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of specific figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the company. This lack of data suggests that Genomatica may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments or reporting practices. As the company operates within the biotechnology sector, it is essential for Genomatica to establish clear climate goals and emissions reduction strategies to align with industry standards and expectations. The absence of emissions data and reduction initiatives may limit its ability to demonstrate leadership in sustainability and climate action.
