Lhc's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, LHC Group, Inc. reported a greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of approximately 1,740 kg CO2e per unit of revenue, although specific total emissions data for this year is not disclosed. The previous year, 2023, showed a GHG intensity of about 2,440 kg CO2e per unit of revenue, indicating a potential trend towards reduced emissions intensity. In 2022, the GHG intensity was approximately 3,200 kg CO2e per unit of revenue. LHC Group's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, UnitedHealth Group Incorporated, reflecting a corporate family relationship. Notably, LHC Group has disclosed Scope 1 emissions for 2020, amounting to about 34,362,000 kg CO2e. This data indicates a focus on direct emissions management, although there is no reported data for Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions. Currently, LHC Group has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The lack of formal climate pledges suggests that while emissions data is being tracked, comprehensive climate commitments may still be in development.
