In 2023, Millipore reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,236,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 227,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and about 4,594,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a significant reduction in emissions compared to previous years, with Scope 1 emissions decreasing from about 1,518,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022, Scope 2 from 242,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 from approximately 6,680,000,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, Millipore has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2022, the company achieved a reduction in Scope 1 emissions from 1,626,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021, and Scope 2 emissions from 325,000,000 kg CO2e. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Millipore's emissions profile indicates a substantial reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the value chain, including purchased goods and services, use of sold products, and upstream and downstream transportation. The company continues to focus on improving its sustainability practices, although specific reduction initiatives have not been detailed.
