In 2022, Biotest reported total carbon emissions of approximately 18,185,600 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 930,500 kg CO2e from Scope 2, resulting in a combined total of about 19,116,100 kg CO2e. This marks a significant reduction from previous years, where emissions were approximately 27,807,200 kg CO2e in both 2019 and 2020, and about 20,544,000 kg CO2e in 2021. Biotest's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Grifols, S.A., indicating a corporate family relationship that influences its climate commitments. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives reported under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The company has disclosed emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 but has not provided information on Scope 3 emissions. Biotest's commitment to sustainability is evident through its transparency in reporting, although further details on specific reduction initiatives or targets would enhance its climate strategy.
