Ims Health GmbH's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from IQVIA Holdings Inc.

Ims Health GmbH, headquartered in Switzerland (CH), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of IQVIA Holdings Inc., which means that any climate commitments or emissions data may be inherited from this parent organisation. As of now, Ims Health GmbH has not established its own reduction targets or climate pledges. However, it is important to note that the climate initiatives and performance metrics may be influenced by the broader sustainability strategies of IQVIA Holdings Inc., which operates at a higher corporate level. This includes potential commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and other climate-related frameworks, although specific details on these initiatives for Ims Health GmbH are not available. In summary, while Ims Health GmbH does not currently provide emissions data or specific climate commitments, its environmental impact and strategies may be aligned with those of its parent company, IQVIA Holdings Inc. Further information may be required to assess the company's individual climate actions and performance.
