Insights into UnitedHealth Group's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2023, UnitedHealth Group has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2), but not its value chain emissions (Scope 3). This means its reduction efforts currently focus on direct and purchased energy emissions.
Does UnitedHealth Group have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2023, UnitedHealth Group has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
UnitedHealth Group's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 60% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 520,650 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021.
