SCIMED's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Boston Scientific Corporation

SCIMED, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The organisation is a current subsidiary of Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc., which means that any emissions data or climate commitments would be inherited from its parent company, Boston Scientific Corporation. As part of its climate commitments, SCIMED aligns with the sustainability initiatives of Boston Scientific Corporation, which includes participation in various climate-related frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, specific reduction targets or achievements for SCIMED have not been disclosed. Given the lack of direct emissions data and specific reduction initiatives, SCIMED's climate strategy appears to be integrated within the broader commitments of its parent company. This context highlights the importance of corporate family relationships in understanding the environmental impact and sustainability efforts of subsidiaries like SCIMED.
