Life Technologies Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.

Life Technologies Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., which means that any emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from its parent organisation. As part of its corporate family relationship, Life Technologies Limited follows the climate initiatives and targets set by Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. This includes participation in various sustainability frameworks, although specific reduction targets or achievements for Life Technologies Limited itself have not been disclosed. The absence of direct emissions data suggests that Life Technologies Limited may be relying on the broader commitments and performance metrics established by Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. in relation to carbon emissions and climate action. This includes adherence to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and other sustainability pledges, although specific details on these initiatives are not provided for Life Technologies Limited. In summary, while Life Technologies Limited does not present its own emissions data or reduction targets, it is aligned with the climate commitments of its parent company, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., reflecting a commitment to sustainability within its operational framework.
