Virbac group's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Virbac Group reported carbon emissions of approximately 23,727,000 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 1 emissions. This represents an increase from 2021, when emissions were about 20,814,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions data for the years 2021 and 2022, indicating a focus primarily on direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Historically, in 2014, Virbac's total emissions were reported at about 19,186,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, alongside 15,014,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 and 6,818,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This earlier data illustrates a broader emissions profile, including significant contributions from both indirect emissions and purchased goods and services. Despite the increase in emissions in recent years, Virbac has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor have they reported any initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. Overall, while Virbac has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of comprehensive data and reduction initiatives highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability.
