Vectura, headquartered in Great Britain, has reported significant carbon emissions over the years, with the most recent data available from 2019. In that year, Vectura's total emissions amounted to approximately 2,763,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 1,172,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, resulting in a combined total of around 3,935,000 kg CO2e. In previous years, emissions have varied, with 2018 showing approximately 2,543,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 1,249,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, leading to a total of around 3,792,000 kg CO2e. The year 2017 recorded the highest emissions, with about 2,312,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and approximately 1,522,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, totalling around 3,834,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Vectura has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that while Vectura is aware of its emissions, it has yet to commit to formalised reduction strategies. Overall, Vectura's emissions data highlights the need for ongoing monitoring and potential action to align with industry standards for climate commitments.
