Virbac group's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Virbac Group reported total carbon emissions of approximately 23,727,000 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 1 emissions. This represents a notable increase from 21,007,000 kg CO2e in 2020 and 20,814,000 kg CO2e in 2021. The company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives related to its carbon emissions, nor does it appear to have committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or similar climate pledges. In 2014, Virbac's emissions were significantly higher, with Scope 1 emissions at 19,186,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 15,014,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at 6,818,000 kg CO2e. The absence of recent reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions profile, it may need to enhance its climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
