This target applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, reflecting a commitment to significant climate action. As a current subsidiary of Merck KGaA, Sigma-Aldrich's climate initiatives and targets are influenced by its parent company's sustainability strategies. While specific emissions data for recent years is not available, the company's historical commitment to reducing its carbon footprint demonstrates a proactive approach to climate change. The absence of detailed emissions data highlights the need for ongoing transparency and accountability in their environmental impact reporting.
