Does Edwards Lifesciences have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, Edwards Lifesciences has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Edwards Lifesciences's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 42% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 45,873 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021.
As of 2024, Edwards Lifesciences is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 40.48% of the planned reduction.
Edwards Lifesciences's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Edwards Lifesciences have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, Edwards Lifesciences has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 7 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
Edwards Lifesciences's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 51.6% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 0 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per US Dollar (USD) of Value Added in 2021.
Instead of reducing value chain emissions, Edwards Lifesciences has increased them, with 2023 levels exceeding those of the 2021 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
