Our Sustainability Impact, Progress and Targets
Growing Our Sustainability Impact
As we commit to improving health and lives across our global communities, we also seek to take actions that will protect the environment and evolve our operations in increasingly sustainable ways. Human health and environmental health are interconnected—we strive to do our part to improve the planet’s health while we improve healthcare and the health of our patients.
As a next step in the evolution of Environmental, Social, and Government (ESG) factors at Labcorp, in 2021 we joined more than 2,000 businesses and financial institutions by committing to participate in Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). SBTi is a collaboration between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute and the World Wide Fund for Nature.
By committing to SBTi, we are demonstrating our intent to reduce Labcorp’s carbon emissions at scale.
We Intend To:
- Develop a science-based target aligned with the SBTi criteria
- Submit the target to the SBTi for validation
- Publish our approved targets within a maximum of 24 months
