In 2022, Virta Health Corp reported total carbon emissions of approximately 686,600 kg CO2e, comprising 404,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 282,600 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marks a significant reduction from 2021, when Scope 1 emissions alone were reported at 533,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Virta Health has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, nor have they set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of formal climate pledges or reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have established comprehensive strategies for further reductions. Virta Health's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that these figures are independently reported. The company continues to focus on its sustainability efforts, as outlined on their sustainability webpage.
