Millipore, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of EMD Millipore Corporation, which inherits emissions data and climate commitments from its parent organisation, Merck KGaA. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges specific to Millipore. However, it is important to note that the climate initiatives and targets may be influenced by the broader commitments of Merck KGaA, which operates under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Millipore's climate strategy may align with industry standards, focusing on reducing emissions across all scopes, including Scope 1, 2, and 3, although specific figures and targets have not been disclosed. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction initiatives highlights the need for further transparency in their climate commitments.
