Promega's reported carbon emissions
Promega, headquartered in the US, has reported significant carbon emissions across various scopes in recent years. In 2020, the company emitted approximately 42,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions, 36,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions, and 38,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions included about 64,000,000 kg CO2e from business travel, 68,000,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, and 31,000,000 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations. In 2017, Promega's emissions were higher, with Scope 1 at approximately 52,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 48,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 46,000,000 kg CO2e. The trend shows a reduction in emissions from 2017 to 2020, indicating a commitment to lowering their carbon footprint. However, there are currently no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Promega, which suggests that while they are actively monitoring and reporting their emissions, they have not set formal goals for future reductions. This context highlights the importance of ongoing efforts in the industry to address climate change and improve sustainability practices.
