Quote: “We recently became the first health technology company to have its entire value chain CO₂ emissions reduction targets (Scope 1-3) approved by the Science Based Targets initiative. We are sharing our own learnings with our global supply base, working with them to get at least 50% of our suppliers to also adopt science-based targets by 2025. This will make our supply chain one of the most carbon-efficient supply chains in the world.”
