Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Eramol (UK) Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050
Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.
Baseline Year: FY23 (1st Jan 2023 – 31st Dec 2023) |

Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations. |
|
2023 is the baseline for the organisation’s first baseline emissions calculations as part of the Carbon Reduction Pan for 2024. No previous calculations have been performed to date. Eramol (UK) Ltd has 2 operational facilities in the UK. Emissions data have been proportionally assigned to each facility based on facility size, activity and personnel located at each facility. Note, there is no gas usage across the organisation. The baseline calculations are proportionate to the activities relating to the supply of commercial medicinal products into the NHS via a virtual supply model. |

Period to 2035: Target of 1.75t
Period to 2050: carbon reduction to Net Zero
These targets are subject to annual reviews and updates will be published accordingly.
