Iqvia's Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments

In 2024, Iqvia reported a total of approximately 472,440,000 kg CO2e of greenhouse gas emissions. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 10,304,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 27,039,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 435,097,000 kg CO2e. Key contributors to their Scope 3 emissions include purchased goods and services (approximately 230,601,410 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 69,615,520 kg CO2e).

Iqvia has established several climate commitments, aligned with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) verification. They aim for a 55% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, using 2019 as their baseline year. Furthermore, Iqvia is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, which includes a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions from their 2019 baseline. They also have a near-term target to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel by 55% per full-time equivalent (FTE) by 2030. An additional commitment involves ensuring that 70% of their suppliers, by emissions, will have science-based targets by 2027.
