Business Wire
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), one of the nation’s leading health and
well-being companies, is committed to reducing greenhouse gas
emissions 54.6 percent by 2032 from a 2019 base year. In line with
a 1.5°C trajectory, Humana’s near-term science-based emissions
reduction targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets
initiative (SBTi).
“As Humana transforms healthcare, we focus on strategies that
put health first, which include protecting the health of the planet
and the health of those who enjoy the communities and environments
we serve,” said Bruce Broussard, Humana President and Chief
Executive Officer. “We recognize an undeniable link between
physical and emotional well-being and the health of the
environment. We are pleased that SBTi has designated Humana as a
Business Ambition for 1.5°C company and approved our science-based
target.”
Among other strategies, Humana’s science-based target to reduce
Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions includes continued
investment and improvements to achieve energy-efficient buildings,
transitioning our fleet and procurement of renewable energy. Humana
will also address the approved Scope 3 target by engaging,
educating and partnering with suppliers to set their own
science-based targets. Humana’s environmental and sustainability
efforts are rooted in science and designed to make a positive
impact on climate change, pollution and other environmental factors
that impact health.
The latest climate science from the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) shows it is still possible to limit global
temperature rise to 1.5°C, but that threshold is dangerously close
to being exceeded. Humana’s science-based target and 1.5°C
trajectory are designed to spur innovation and efficiency, boost
investor confidence and align with national benchmarking.
