By 2030, we are committed to reducing our absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46%, in line with a 1.5°C pathway, and our absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by 25%, in line with a well-below 2°C pathway. This has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative and is a positive step in the fight against climate change.
In an unprecedented move, Teva unveiled a sustainability-linked bond worth $5 billion – the largest of its kind from any sector – as part of its financing strategy, integrating Scope 1 and 2 targets. This marked the first sustainability-linked bond issued by a generic medicines company.
