Oxford Nanopore Technologies's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Oxford Nanopore Technologies reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 51,215,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes 313,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,210,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 51,215,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, based on a 2023 baseline. Additionally, they target a 52% reduction in Scope 3 emissions per GBP value added within the same timeframe. Long-term goals include achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain by 2045, with a target of at least a 90% reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by the same year. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are classified as consistent with the reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The emissions data and reduction targets are solely from Oxford Nanopore Technologies, with no cascaded data from parent organizations. The company is committed to transparency and accountability in its climate strategy, reflecting its dedication to sustainability within the biotechnology sector.
