Biogen Charts Progress for Healthy Climate

Healthy Climate, Healthy LivesTM is Biogen’s ground-breaking programme to end the use of fossil fuels in our operations and address the important challenges of climate change, health, and equity. 
 
We established a Scientific Advisory Council to direct our programme in year two. We also strengthened our plan to reduce scope 3 emissions and set a science-based goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2045. The three Healthy Climate, Healthy Lives pillars, all intended to promote a healthier, more sustainable, and more equitable society, have made the following progress highlights.
