Shire ViroPharma Incorporated's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited

Shire ViroPharma Incorporated, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, which means that any climate commitments or emissions data may be inherited from its parent organisation. As part of its climate strategy, Shire ViroPharma is aligned with the initiatives and targets set by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited. This includes commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions across their operations. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Shire ViroPharma have not been disclosed. The company is also involved in broader climate initiatives, although details on specific pledges or commitments are not available. As a subsidiary, Shire ViroPharma's climate actions are likely influenced by Takeda's overarching sustainability goals, which focus on reducing emissions and enhancing environmental stewardship. In summary, while Shire ViroPharma does not provide specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is part of a corporate family that is actively engaged in climate commitments through Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited.
