Obagi's reported carbon emissions

As of 2021, Obagi reported total carbon emissions of approximately 14,249,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 7,342,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 6,906,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Notably, Scope 3 emissions, which encompass all other indirect emissions in the value chain, accounted for a significant 168,720,000 kg CO2e. Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or initiatives from Obagi aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. This lack of specific commitments may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing climate change. As the company continues to operate within the global market, it remains essential for them to consider establishing measurable climate commitments to align with increasing environmental expectations.
