In 2020, Promega reported total carbon emissions of approximately 42,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 36,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 38,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This included significant contributions from business travel (about 64,000,000 kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (approximately 68,000,000 kg CO2e), and waste generated in operations (around 31,000,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2017, Promega's emissions were higher, with Scope 1 at about 52,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 48,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 46,000,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a reduction in emissions over the years, particularly in Scope 1 and Scope 2. Despite these figures, there are currently no specified reduction targets or climate pledges documented by Promega. The company appears to be actively monitoring its emissions but has not publicly committed to specific reduction initiatives or targets as part of its climate strategy.
