Despite the increase in emissions, Simcere Pharmaceutical has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company does not appear to have cascaded any emissions data from a parent organization, and there are no reported commitments to initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Overall, while Simcere Pharmaceutical has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of reduction targets suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate action and commitment to sustainability in the pharmaceutical industry.
