6 healthcare companies with low-integrity climate plans

Although many healthcare giants pledged to cut their emissions 100 percent through net neutrality or carbon-zero policies, a new analysis shows they are committing to less. 

Climate change activist group NewClimate Institute along with Carbon Market Watch published a report Feb. 7 that analyzes the climate pledges of 25 corporate giants. The report found on average the 25 companies are committing to only a 40 percent reduction on average. 

The exclusion of market segments and emission sources as well as relying too heavily on carbon offsetting hurt the integrity of the climate plans, according to the report.

Here are the healthcare-related companies that ranked the lowest in integrity: 

Low integrity 

  • GlaxoSmithKline

  • Amazon

  • Google
  • Walmart 

Very low integrity

  • CVS Health

  • Novartis
