    NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / October 12, 2023 / Viatris:

    As a healthcare company with a global reach, we are committed to taking action against climate change, which poses health dangers on a worldwide scale. Our work to reduce the effects of climate change helps improve the health of those we serve, build resilience in our operations and protect the communities where we live and work.

    Setting Science-Based Targets

    The SBTi independently assessed and approved our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets in line with its strict, globally recognized criteria in 2022. Science-based targets provide clearly defined pathways to reduce GHG emissions in line with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C of preindustrial levels. Having the targets validated and approved by the SBTi provides credibility to the relevance of our targets as we continue to work to do our part to fight climate change. The SBTi classified Viatris' scope 1 and 2 target ambition and has determined that it is in line with the 1.5°C trajectory.

    To establish our science-based targets, we collaborated with internal and external stakeholders over an eight-month period to review and validate the data required. The process included three phases:

    • Discovery: Industry review, peer benchmarking, internal stakeholder interviews, emission data screening.
    • Analysis: SBTi target calculations, climate scenario analysis (key risk/opportunities), internal stakeholder reviews.
    • Strategy: Emission reduction strategies to achieve our target. Specifically, our strategy holds three key areas: Increasing the use of renewable electricity, enhancing operational efficiencies and equipment upgrades and alternative fuel usage.

    We are also working to reduce carbon emissions across our supply chain. We work across all three of our freight transportation modes - road, ocean and air - to that end. Transport efficiency is a primary objective. We focus on full truck loads and double stacking of pallets where possible. Full truck loads are considered the most efficient mode of transit. The sourcing of transportation providers considers sustainability as a factor. Our key logistics suppliers have sustainability programs and are active in reducing GHG emissions. To enable the shift to ocean and road freight - which is less GHG intensive than air - we have been building in more time for transportation into our processes, which hinges on good demand data and forecast planning. We have a rapid response system and have established a standard operating procedure to make ocean freight our standard mode. In 2022, road and ocean represented 89% of all transport. As timely access to medicine is the priority, there are exceptions when speed is of the essence.
