Ossur's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Össur reported total carbon emissions of approximately 74,300,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions amounting to about 2,500,000 kg CO2e. The company has shown a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for the majority of their carbon footprint. Over the years, Össur's emissions have fluctuated, with notable figures from previous years including approximately 13,220,000 kg CO2e in 2022, 11,830,000 kg CO2e in 2021, and 16,330,000 kg CO2e in 2020. The breakdown of emissions in 2020 included about 1,800,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 5,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 9,330,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. Despite these figures, Össur has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company continues to navigate its carbon emissions landscape without defined strategies for reduction, which places it within a broader industry context where many organisations are increasingly setting ambitious climate goals. Overall, Össur's emissions data highlights the challenges faced in managing carbon footprints, particularly in relation to Scope 3 emissions, while also reflecting the need for clearer commitments to climate action.
