Legend Biotech's reported carbon emissions

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 about 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 total emissions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined by Legend Biotech. The absence of documented climate pledges or reduction strategies suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. As the biopharmaceutical industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, it will be essential for Legend Biotech to establish clear goals and strategies to mitigate its carbon footprint in the future.
