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.
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.
Genomatica 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.
