This includes 250,022,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 786,489,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. The majority of their emissions, about 14,472,715,000 kg CO2e, stem from Scope 3, which includes emissions from the entire value chain, such as purchased goods and services (approximately 12,959,465,000 kg CO2e) and employee commuting (about 437,707,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2021, the company emitted approximately 8,833,505,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions, indicating a significant increase in emissions over the year. The Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined totalled about 1,036,511,000 kg CO2e in 2022, up from 1,070,042,000 kg CO2e in 2021. Despite these figures, Omnicare, Inc. has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor do they appear to be part of any recognised climate pledges or initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the organisation. Overall, while Omnicare, Inc. has substantial emissions, the lack of clear reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in their environmental sustainability efforts.
