The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) currently does not have available carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of specific figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their initiatives. As such, USP has not publicly committed to any specific climate action frameworks or targets, such as those set by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Without emissions data or reduction commitments, it is unclear how USP is addressing climate change within its operations. The organisation may still be evaluating its environmental impact or developing future strategies to align with industry standards for sustainability.
