Making progressPending Review

Roche has delivered measurable absolute emissions reductions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, achieved 100% sustainable electricity, and won SBTi validation for net-zero targets. But nature/biodiversity assessment is absent, water targets are intensity-only, and trade association misalignment on climate remains unaddressed.
