In 2021, Invacare reported total carbon emissions of approximately 12,215,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 3,847,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 8,215,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marked a slight decrease from 2020, where total emissions were about 12,181,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 3,881,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 8,352,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Invacare has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate commitments or science-based targets suggests that while the company is monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for significant reductions in line with industry standards. As a leading manufacturer in the healthcare sector, Invacare's emissions profile reflects the broader challenges faced by the industry in addressing climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
