In 2023, Medidata reported total carbon emissions of approximately 908,000 kg CO2e, comprising 52,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 22,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 836,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, including all relevant scopes. Medidata has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 35% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions across Scopes 1 and 2 by 2027, using 2019 as the baseline year. Additionally, the company is working towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2040, which will involve offsetting residual emissions, excluding those from the use of sold solutions. The company is also transitioning to a fossil fuel-free fleet of company cars, which is expected to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance air quality. This initiative is part of their near-term strategy, with a focus on both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. It is important to note that Medidata's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Dassault Systèmes SE, reflecting a corporate family relationship. This ensures alignment with broader sustainability goals set by the parent organisation.
