Perrigo Company's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Perrigo Company plc

Perrigo Company, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Perrigo Company plc, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting. As of now, Perrigo has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate initiatives. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction targets suggests that Perrigo is still in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. While no absolute emissions figures are provided, the company is expected to align its practices with industry standards as it develops its climate commitments. The lack of data may indicate a need for enhanced transparency and accountability in its environmental impact reporting. Overall, Perrigo's climate commitments and emissions data remain undefined, highlighting an opportunity for the company to strengthen its sustainability initiatives in the future.
