Deadlines for achieving net zero targets are fast approaching - with mounting pressure from shareholders, stakeholders and legislators, do you know how to achieve your decarbonisation goals?
According to research by My Green Lab, 91% of pharmaceutical and biotech businesses do not yet have sustainability commitments that will limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C (in accordance with the 2015 Paris Agreement).
In spite of a near universal desire to decarbonise across the industry, the life science sector in 2021 saw a rise of 15% in tCO2e, reaching 260 million tons per year. This carbon intensity is even greater than traditional high emission industries such as forestry and paper.
Clearly, the challenge is complex. Each business faces unqiue obstacles, but understanding the road to zero is the first step an organisation can make to delivering a healthier future for our planet.
