Medidata's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Medidata reported total carbon emissions of approximately 936,000 kg CO2e, comprising 52,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 40,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 836,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects a significant focus on emissions across all scopes, with a particular emphasis on Scope 3, which includes indirect emissions from the supply chain and business travel. Medidata has set ambitious near-term climate commitments, aiming for a fossil fuel-free fleet of company cars by 2025. This initiative targets reductions in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, contributing to their overall climate strategy to combat climate change and enhance air quality. The emissions data for 2019 indicates a much higher total of approximately 15,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 242,160 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (location-based) at about 1,834,440 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions from business travel and employee commuting. This historical context highlights a potential shift in Medidata's emissions profile and commitment to sustainability. Medidata's climate initiatives are cascaded from its parent company, Dassault Systèmes SE, reflecting a broader corporate commitment to sustainability. The company is actively working towards integrating these targets into its operational framework, demonstrating a proactive approach to reducing its carbon footprint.
