Vísir's reported carbon emissions
Vísir, headquartered in Iceland (IS), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The organisation is a current subsidiary of Vísirna Therapeutics and inherits emissions data from its parent company, Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc., at a cascade level of 1. Despite the lack of specific emissions data, Vísir has not outlined any formal reduction targets or climate pledges. The absence of documented initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy. As a subsidiary, Vísir's climate commitments may align with broader initiatives from Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, which could include industry-standard practices and targets. However, without explicit commitments or data, the specifics of Vísir's climate action remain unclear.
