Compared to 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Virbac decreased by 5.52%, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its operations.a
In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of Virbac were 13,266 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Virbac's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 2.52%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2025, Virbac reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 22,626 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 21,915 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Virbac's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Virbac's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2025, Virbac reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Virbac reported 250,554 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of Virbac includes a breakdown across 15 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, Virbac reported total Scope 3 emissions of 250,554 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 90.9% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 9.1% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2021, Virbac's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 2,158.67%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Virbac's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Virbac's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2025, Virbac reported emissions for 15 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Virbac's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Virbac reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 13,266 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 1,722 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 7.7 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Virbac reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 7.7 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 5.07, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Virbac ranked 16 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Virbac is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Virbac reported a total carbon footprint of 285,735 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 7.2% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Virbac's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 87.69% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 7.67%.a
