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 that 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, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. Notably, LHC Group has not disclosed specific Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures, nor has it set any formal reduction targets or initiatives as per the available data. The company operates under the umbrella of UnitedHealth Group, which may have its own climate strategies and targets that could indirectly affect LHC Group's environmental performance. However, as of now, LHC Group has not established any specific reduction initiatives or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Overall, while LHC Group shows a decreasing trend in emissions intensity, the lack of detailed emissions data and formal reduction targets suggests that further transparency and commitment to climate action may be necessary.
