Sandoz GmbH's reported carbon emissions
In 2025, Sandoz GmbH reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2.2 billion kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 60.3 million kg CO2e, primarily from stationary and mobile combustion, and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 121.9 million kg CO2e. The majority of their emissions stem from Scope 3, which accounted for about 2 billion kg CO2e, with significant contributions from purchased goods and services, as well as the use of sold products. In 2024, Sandoz GmbH's total emissions were slightly higher at approximately 2.2 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions of about 73.5 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 142.8 million kg CO2e. Again, Scope 3 emissions dominated the total, reaching about 2.0 billion kg CO2e. Despite these substantial emissions figures, Sandoz GmbH has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. The emissions data is cascaded from their parent company, Sandoz Group AG, reflecting their current subsidiary relationship. Sandoz GmbH's climate commitments and strategies remain unclear, but they are part of a larger corporate family that may have broader sustainability initiatives.
