Introduction Transforming care Investing in our people Accelerating possibilities Protecting the environment Creating value responsibly Appendix Reducing our environmental impact In 2022, we made measurable progress in addressing climate change. Boston Scientific Teams across the company worked to keep us on course to meet our global commitments met a milestone when our targets for net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 were approved by the for net-zero emissions, carbon neutrality, renewable electricity and waste management. SBTi. This approval, which encompasses scopes 1, 2 and 31, was received less than a year after Progress against our environmental targets is also a key component of our environmental, we expanded our climate goals by committing to set science-based targets and joining the social and governance (ESG) scorecard that is part of our annual employee bonus program.
