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.

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.
