GHG emissions and Carbon intensity
Boston Scientific Corporation reported Total CO2e Emissions - Market-Based Scope 1 + Scope 2 for the twelve months ending 31 December 2021 at 52 Kt (-1.4 /-2.7% y-o-y). Also positively, carbon intensity declined to 4.4 t (-1 /-18.5% y-o-y).
No public disclosure of Scope 3 emissions has been found for Boston Scientific Corporation at the moment.
The company is committed to achieving carbon neutrality for Scope 1 + 2 by 2030, which translates into the estimated reduction of -5.8 Kt per annum over the period of FY2022 - FY2030. This science-based target is aligned with Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Boston Scientific Corporation aims to achive carbon neutrality across its operations (Scope 1 + 2) in 2030. Companies normally become carbon neutral with the help of the acquisition of carbon offsets rather than absolute reductions in their own greenhouse emissions. Also, carbon neutrality does not include non-CO2 GHG emissions.
