Amicus's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, Amicus Therapeutics, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 302,400 kg CO2e. This figure represents the company's overall emissions but does not specify the breakdown into Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, as no detailed scope data has been disclosed. Currently, Amicus has not established any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of reduction commitments indicates a potential area for future development in their climate strategy. As of now, Amicus's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent or related organisation, ensuring that the reported figures are solely reflective of its own operations. The company may benefit from setting measurable targets to enhance its sustainability profile and align with industry standards for climate action.
