Kendle Healthcare climate targets validated by Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)
We’re pleased to announce that Kendle Healthcare’s near-term greenhouse gas emissions target has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Our scope 1 and 2 targets have been confirmed as aligning with limiting global warning to 1.5°C – SBTi’s most ambitious designation.
Our commitment
As a fully remote consultancy, Kendle Healthcare has zero scope 1 and 2 emissions.
Our validated target commits us to, “Kendle Healthcare commits to maintain zero scope 1 and scope 2 emissions through 2032, and to measure and reduce its scope 3 emissions from a 2024 base year.”
Although our carbon footprint is relatively small, we believe it is important to measure it properly, understand what emissions we do emit, and do what we can do reduce those emissions.
Measuring our wider impact
We commissioned an assessment of our 2024 greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with GHG protocol.
Our scope 3 emissions for the year were approximately 7.42 tonnes CO₂e, with the large majority coming from purchased goods and services.
This baseline helps us understand where we can make meaningful reductions and measure our progress.
What next?
The SBTi validation is not the end of the process. We will continue to measure our relevant scope 3 emissions, look for opportunities to reduce them, and report our progress annually.
Climate action is inevitably different to a large corporate model for a small business such as ours. Our approach is therefore deliberately proportionate – we measure our emissions accurately, maintain zero direct and purchased emissions, and focus on areas we can genuinely influence.
Our validated target is due to appear on the SBTi Target Dashboard in November (2026).
