Horizon Therapeutics's reported carbon emissions

Horizon Therapeutics, headquartered in the US, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it report specific reduction targets or initiatives. The absence of emissions data suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. As of now, there are no specific climate pledges or targets outlined by Horizon Therapeutics, indicating a potential area for development in their sustainability strategy. Without inherited emissions data from a parent company or established reduction initiatives, it remains unclear how Horizon Therapeutics plans to address its carbon footprint or contribute to broader climate goals. In the context of the pharmaceutical industry, companies are increasingly expected to adopt transparent climate strategies and set science-based targets to mitigate their environmental impact. Horizon Therapeutics may benefit from aligning with industry standards and best practices to enhance its climate commitments in the future.
