USP's reported carbon emissions
USP currently does not have available carbon emissions data or specific reduction targets outlined in their climate commitments. Without concrete figures or initiatives, it is challenging to provide a detailed overview of their carbon footprint or climate strategy. However, it is essential for organisations in the pharmaceutical sector to actively engage in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and to set ambitious targets in line with industry standards. As climate change continues to be a pressing global issue, companies like USP are encouraged to develop and communicate clear strategies for emissions reduction and sustainability.
