Merial Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from C.H. Boehringer Sohn AG & Co. KG

Merial Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. Furthermore, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the company. As a current subsidiary, Merial Inc. may inherit climate commitments and emissions data from its parent organisation, but specific details regarding these cascaded targets or data are not available. Without concrete emissions data or reduction initiatives, it is challenging to assess Merial Inc.'s climate impact or commitments within the industry context. Overall, the lack of reported emissions and climate strategies suggests that Merial Inc. may need to enhance its transparency and commitment to sustainability in line with industry standards.
