Edwards Lifesciences also has a science-based goal that, however, does not appear to explicitly target a company-wide reduction in emissions in absolute terms. Edwards Lifesciences commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 42% by 2030 from a 2021 base year. Edwards Lifesciences also commits to reduce scope 3 GHG emissions 51.6% per USD of value added within the same timeframe.
