Zymergen Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings, Inc.

Zymergen Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for recent years, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings, Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, Zymergen has not established any documented reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to be part of any specific climate pledges such as those from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). This lack of data suggests that Zymergen may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy or reporting framework. In the context of the biotechnology industry, companies are increasingly expected to set ambitious climate targets and transparently report their emissions. Zymergen's future commitments and performance in this area will be crucial for aligning with industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
