In 2024, Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 149,927,270 kg CO2e. This figure includes 1,438,380 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 7,141,310 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 141,347,580 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects a comprehensive disclosure of emissions across all relevant scopes. Comparatively, in 2021, the company recorded total emissions of about 107,165,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,304,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 5,530,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at 100,330,000 kg CO2e. This indicates an increase in total emissions over the three-year period, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are often the largest contributor in consumer goods sectors. Despite the increase in emissions, Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. The company’s climate strategy appears to be in the early stages, with no significant pledges or initiatives reported. Overall, while Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action in the future.
