Steris's reported carbon emissions

In 2025, Steris reported total carbon emissions of approximately 56664000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 86708000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and 336360000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This comprehensive disclosure highlights the company's commitment to transparency regarding its carbon footprint across all scopes of emissions. Despite the significant emissions figures, Steris has not publicly outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a structured approach to address its carbon emissions. Steris's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that these figures are solely representative of its own operations. As the company continues to navigate its sustainability journey, further commitments and initiatives may emerge to align with industry standards and expectations for climate action.
