QIAGEN Hannover GmbH's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Abbott Laboratories

QIAGEN Hannover GmbH, headquartered in Germany, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. The company is part of a corporate family that includes Abbott Laboratories, from which it inherits climate-related commitments and performance data. As a merged entity, QIAGEN's climate initiatives and targets are influenced by Abbott Laboratories' sustainability strategies. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for QIAGEN itself have not been disclosed. The absence of documented reduction initiatives or commitments suggests that QIAGEN may still be in the process of establishing its own climate action framework. In the context of industry standards, QIAGEN's climate commitments may align with broader initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are associated with Abbott Laboratories. Nonetheless, without specific data or targets from QIAGEN, it is challenging to assess their individual climate impact or commitments accurately.
