ROVI monitors its scope 1 and 2 emissions, which enables the company to know and evaluate the progress that is being made with regard to emissions and to put the best measures in place to reduce them.
During 2022, ROVI calculated its carbon footprint including, for the first time, scope 3 emissions, which cover indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions arising from activities from sources that are not owned or controlled by the company.
Within the framework of its commitment to meticulous environmental management, at ROVI we continue to make progress in improving the calculation of our scope 3 carbon dioxide equivalent (“CO2eq”) emissions, in particular, by including the emissions associated to the consumption of heparins in the calculation, since these are a significant input in our activity.
Until now, the associated complexity when estimating a realistic emission factor linked to the heparin life cycle has placed limitations on the calculation of this type of emission. After a process of technical analysis and collaboration with specialised suppliers, we have succeeded in identifying representative emission factors for this type of product and, consequently, have recalculated the entire carbon footprint. If it had been possible to include this new calculation at the last annual reporting date, the figure would have been 66,691.32 tnCO2eq. The CO2eq result recalculated as above will foreseeably be included in the 2025 Sustainability Information on the current year. This progress allows ROVI to obtain a more accurate quantification of indirect emissions, establish more robust baselines for future emission reduction and offset strategies, and improve the traceability and transparency of our non-financial sustainability information.
In future years, ROVI will continue working along these lines to improve the quality and representativeness of the data of other key categories of its value chain as part of its commitment to effective evidence-based decarbonisation.
