Lundbeck sets new 15-year climate target

Lundbeck announces a new 15-year climate target, which consists of an action plan towards becoming completely carbon neutral by latest 2050.

Sustainability is an important enabler of Lundbeck’s strategy, Expand and Invest to Grow. Actions to mitigate climate change will continue to permeate through all Lundbeck activities in the future. 

 

  • The climate target requires that Lundbeck’s partners and suppliers reduce their carbon footprint by at least one fifth by 2034.
  • The new science based 15-year climate target, includes a detailed action plan to reduce emissions, approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
  • As part of the target, Lundbeck also commits to becoming carbon neutral across the entire value chain no later than 2050.​

Since 2006, Lundbeck has reduced its CO2-emissions by more than 70 percent and reached its first science-based target four years ahead of plan.

 

“Taking action to reduce climate impact is essential for ethical and sustainable business today, and we are proud to be a front runner in this area. Lundbeck supplies medicines to millions of people every day, we operate in more than 50 countries, and have multiple production and research locations in the world.
