Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Bausch Health Companies Inc.

Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years. The company is a current subsidiary of Bausch Health Companies Inc., which means that any emissions data or climate commitments would be inherited from this parent organisation. Bausch Health Companies Inc. has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions, nor have they committed to any climate pledges. As a result, Valeant Pharmaceuticals does not have defined emissions reduction strategies or targets at this time. Given the lack of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives, it is important to note that the pharmaceutical industry is increasingly focusing on sustainability and climate commitments. Companies are encouraged to adopt science-based targets and participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to align with global climate goals. In summary, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. currently lacks detailed emissions data and specific climate commitments, relying on the broader sustainability framework established by its parent company, Bausch Health Companies Inc.
