From 2018 to 2022, Vertex reduced its Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 21.4%, meeting and exceeding its five-year reduction goal of 20% one year ahead of schedule. In 2023, Vertex set a new target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2032, with the first reporting year resulting in an absolute GHG emissions reduction of 3.5% during a time of substantial company growth. A decarbonization study was completed at three of Vertex's largest research and manufacturing locations to identify opportunities to electrify these facilities and reduce the global GHG footprint, which will inform sustainability efforts over the next 10 years.
