IQVIA has set Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) verified goals to address its emissions. The company commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 55.1% by 2030 from a 2019 baseline year. Furthermore, IQVIA aims for a 55% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel per FTE within the same timeframe. The company also pledges that 70% of its suppliers by emissions, covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transport and distribution, will have science-based targets by 2027. For long-term ambitions, IQVIA is committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050, with a target of a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2050 from a 2019 baseline.
