Salix Pharmaceuticals Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Bausch Health Companies Inc.

Salix Pharmaceuticals Ltd., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of Bausch Health Companies Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges specific to Salix Pharmaceuticals, it is important to note that any potential climate initiatives or targets would likely be aligned with those set by its parent company, Bausch Health Companies Inc. This includes commitments to sustainability and emissions reduction that may cascade down to Salix Pharmaceuticals. As of now, Salix Pharmaceuticals has not disclosed any specific initiatives or targets related to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other industry-standard climate frameworks. The lack of emissions data and reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its environmental accountability and transparency in the future.
