Karl Storz's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, Karl Storz does not report any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of publicly disclosed emissions data. Consequently, there are no recorded Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures to analyse. Furthermore, the company has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments to climate initiatives, such as those outlined by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other industry standards. In the absence of specific emissions data or reduction initiatives, it is unclear how Karl Storz is addressing climate change or its carbon footprint.
