Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Mallinckrodt plc

Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, Sucampo Pharmaceuticals has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction commitments suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Given its affiliation with Mallinckrodt plc, any potential climate initiatives or emissions data may be inherited from this parent organisation. However, no specific emissions figures or reduction targets have been cascaded from Mallinckrodt plc to Sucampo Pharmaceuticals at this time. In summary, Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is currently lacking in detailed emissions data and formal climate commitments, reflecting a need for further development in its sustainability practices.
