In 2021, PerkinElmer reported total emissions of approximately 29,928,000 kg CO2e, comprising 7,579,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 22,349,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has made significant strides in reducing its carbon footprint, achieving a reduction of about 1,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions from 2020 to 2021. Despite these reductions, PerkinElmer has not committed to net-zero emissions and currently has no specified reduction targets. The company is actively engaged in the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and life sciences sectors, which are increasingly under pressure to address climate change. PerkinElmer's emissions from business travel, classified under Scope 3, amounted to approximately 1,569,000 kg CO2e in 2020, indicating a need for further action in this area. The absence of long-term reduction targets highlights a potential gap in their climate strategy, which may need to be addressed to align with industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
