Watson Laboratories, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited

Watson Laboratories, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, which means that any climate commitments or emissions data may be inherited from its parent organisation. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited has established various climate initiatives, including targets set through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Watson Laboratories, Inc. have not been detailed in the available information. As a subsidiary, Watson Laboratories may align its climate strategies with those of Teva, which is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and enhancing sustainability practices across its operations. The lack of direct emissions data suggests that Watson Laboratories is still in the process of developing its own specific climate commitments or may rely on the overarching strategies of its parent company. In summary, while Watson Laboratories, Inc. does not currently provide specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is positioned within a corporate structure that prioritises climate action through its parent company, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited.
