Biotest's reported carbon emissions

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 data reflects a significant increase compared to 2021, when total emissions were approximately 2,054,400 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions contributing about 1,129,500 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 711,000 kg CO2e. Biotest's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Biotest Aktiengesellschaft, which is part of the corporate family of Grifols, S.A. This relationship influences their sustainability initiatives and reporting practices. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for Biotest, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which typically encompasses indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. As such, Biotest's climate commitments and strategies may need further development to align with industry standards and expectations for comprehensive emissions reporting and reduction initiatives.
