PRA Health Sciences, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 31,296,000 kg CO2e in 2019. This total includes 485,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which primarily stems from stationary combustion, 8,456,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, attributed to purchased electricity, and 22,355,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, largely from business travel.

For 2014, only Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were reported, totalling 778,650 kg CO2e and 4,234,160 kg CO2e respectively. Missing data points for Scope 3 emissions in 2014, including purchased goods and services, and employee commute, suggest that a comprehensive total for that year is unavailable.

Similarly, it plans to reduce its Scope 2 emissions to near zero within the same timeframe. These commitments are detailed in their 2019 responsibility report.
