The first study to measure the industry’s total emissions has found that the top 25 biopharma companies have reduced their carbon impact. The report — prepared by the non-profit organization My Green Lab, which promotes sustainability in science — was released to coincide with the United Nations COP28 Climate Summit in Dubai. The study identified critical hotspots that could open up opportunities for positive change. The evaluation, which included data from 226 public and 147 private companies, showed that the top 25 organizations by revenue have reduced some of their annual emissions — those from owned sources and purchased energy for in-house use — by around by 5.3% a year since 2015. And more than half of companies are now certified by My Green Lab, a best-practice standard that covers themes related to energy, water, waste, chemicals, materials, and engagement.
