Legend Biotech's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Legend Biotech reported total carbon emissions of approximately 12.97 million tonnes CO2e. This figure includes about 770,000 tonnes CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from stationary combustion, and approximately 12.20 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, which are associated with purchased electricity. Currently, there are no publicly stated reduction targets or initiatives from Legend Biotech, indicating a potential area for future commitment in climate action. The absence of specific reduction goals suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As the biopharmaceutical industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Legend Biotech's future commitments will be crucial in aligning with global climate objectives.
