Merck Millipore Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Merck KGaA

Merck Millipore Limited, headquartered in Ireland (IE), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as no emissions figures are available. The company is a current subsidiary of Merck KGaA, which cascades its climate commitments and targets down through its corporate structure. While specific reduction targets or achievements for Merck Millipore Limited are not detailed, the overarching initiatives from Merck KGaA include commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). These initiatives reflect a broader commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions across their operations. As a subsidiary, Merck Millipore Limited aligns with the sustainability goals set by its parent company, which aims to enhance environmental performance and reduce carbon footprints across all scopes of emissions. However, without specific data or targets at the subsidiary level, the precise impact of these commitments remains unclear. In summary, while Merck Millipore Limited is part of a larger corporate family with established climate initiatives, it currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets at its own operational level.
