In 2023, Intelligent Ultrasound, headquartered in Great Britain, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,050,000 kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 9,900 kg CO2e, primarily from mobile combustion, and Scope 2 emissions of around 29,500 kg CO2e, mainly from purchased electricity. The most significant contribution to their carbon footprint comes from Scope 3 emissions, which total approximately 1,016,600 kg CO2e. Key components of these Scope 3 emissions include business travel (about 184,700 kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (approximately 526,100 kg CO2e), and downstream transportation and distribution (around 203,300 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, the company reported total emissions of about 1,050,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 5,700 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 33,900 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were around 1,096,400 kg CO2e, indicating a slight decrease in total emissions year-on-year. Despite these figures, Intelligent Ultrasound has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The emissions data is cascaded from their parent company, Intelligent Ultrasound Group plc, and is supported by performance data from Surgical Science Sweden AB (publ) at a cascade level of 1. Overall, while Intelligent Ultrasound has made strides in reporting their emissions, they currently lack defined reduction targets or climate pledges, positioning them within an industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon neutrality.

Intelligent Ultrasound's Scope 3 emissions, which increased by 965% last year and increased by approximately 965% since 2021, 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 4% 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.
Intelligent Ultrasound 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.
