QIAGEN, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Qiagen N.V.

QIAGEN, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Qiagen N.V., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As part of its climate strategy, QIAGEN, Inc. inherits various initiatives and targets from its parent company, Qiagen N.V. This includes participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with global climate goals. However, specific reduction targets or achievements have not been disclosed for QIAGEN, Inc. at this time. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction targets suggests that QIAGEN, Inc. is still in the process of establishing its own climate commitments or may rely on the broader corporate strategies set by Qiagen N.V.
