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 2021, where emissions were about 20,814,000 kg CO2e, and from 2020, which recorded approximately 21,007,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions data for these years. Despite the increase in emissions, Virbac has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Virbac's emissions intensity, measured as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per unit of revenue, has shown a slight improvement, with values of 0.237 in 2022 and 0.229 in 2021, indicating a focus on aligning emissions with revenue growth. As a global player in the veterinary pharmaceutical industry, Virbac's commitment to addressing climate change will be crucial in meeting future regulatory and market expectations.
