UCB’s commitment to environmental sustainability We have made strong commitments to limit our impact on the planet as we work to develop and deliver medicines for people with severe diseases. We take this responsibility seriously, because we understand the intrinsic link between the health of the planet that we call home and the health of the humans who live on it.Sandrine DufourChief Financial Officer UCB is committed to making meaningful progress on our environmental sustainability journey by reducing our operational footprint and driving systemic change across the value chain.To live up to our goals, UCB has set absolute targets across three key environmental impact areas — carbon emissions, water and waste: EmissionsReduce absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2045, compared to a 2019 baseline, and neutralize remaining CO2e emissions (target validated as science based by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)).
