In 2023, Legend Biotech reported total carbon emissions of approximately 12,973,530 kg CO2e. This figure includes 770,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from stationary combustion, and 12,204,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, which are associated with purchased electricity. Notably, the company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Despite the significant emissions figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. This lack of defined goals suggests that while Legend Biotech is aware of its carbon footprint, it has yet to establish formal strategies for reducing emissions in the future. As the company continues to operate within the biotechnology sector, it may face increasing pressure to enhance its sustainability practices and align with industry standards for climate action.
