Over the past few years, Millipore has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. From 2020 to 2023, the company has achieved a significant reduction in Scope 1 emissions, decreasing from about 1,827,000,000 kg CO2e in 2020 to 1,236,000,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Similarly, Scope 2 emissions have also seen a reduction from 325,000,000 kg CO2e in 2020 to 227,000,000 kg CO2e in 2023. However, Scope 3 emissions increased from 5,103,000,000 kg CO2e in 2020 to 4,594,000,000 kg CO2e in 2023, indicating a complex challenge in managing indirect emissions. Despite these reductions, there are currently no specific science-based targets or documented climate pledges outlined by Millipore. The company continues to navigate the complexities of emissions across its operations, focusing on improving its overall sustainability practices.
