Environment
2019-2021 environmental metrics (greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy, electricity, water and waste) are attributable to Elanco’s worldwide locations with manufacturing and R&D operations. 2022 environmental metrics reflect enhancements in data availability and the expansion of our reporting boundary to reflect full operational control.

Note: Please note that the Scope 2 emissions data for 2022 has been restated. The original figure was revised based on an updated emission factor applied to one of our operational areas. In August of 2024, we corrected this factor to accurately reflect the site's energy consumption profile. This restatement aligns with our commitment to transparency and accuracy in our sustainability reporting. We remain dedicated to providing stakeholders with reliable environmental data as we continue to track and improve our carbon footprint.
