PPD's reported carbon emissions

PPD, headquartered in the US, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data or specific reduction targets. Without concrete figures or commitments, it is challenging to assess their climate impact or initiatives. However, the absence of reported emissions data suggests a potential opportunity for PPD to enhance transparency and accountability in their environmental practices. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, PPD may consider establishing measurable climate commitments to align with global efforts in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
