Cortrium ApS is committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse-gas emissions by 2045. We have approved 2025 as our corporate greenhouse-gas baseline year and will review our progress annually. Our work to reduce emissions must continue to meet the safety, performance, quality and regulatory requirements applicable to medical devices.
Our 2025 emissions baseline
Our greenhouse-gas inventory follows the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. It combines available activity data with documented emission factors and screening estimates. The figures below are the approved quantified 2025 subtotal, not a fully quantified corporate carbon footprint.
| 2025 emissions source | tCO₂e |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 | 0.000 |
| Scope 2 - location-based | 6.580 |
| Scope 3 - Category 1: manufacturing and cloud services | 8.760 |
| Scope 3 - Category 4: purchased inbound freight | 0.018 |
| Scope 3 - Category 4: purchased outbound freight | 0.886 |
| Scope 3 - Category 6: business travel | 21.320 |
| Scope 3 - Category 7: employee commuting | 73.740 |
| Quantified subtotal (partial footprint) | 111.305 |
Important reporting limitation: Scope 3 waste treatment, upstream energy-related emissions, certain purchased services and other screened sources are not fully quantified. Market-based Scope 2 is not separately quantified. Some reported values use documented conservative proxies, including shared-office energy allocation, product manufacturing, freight, cloud services and commuting. These exclusions are not treated as zero emissions.
Cortrium maintains documented records of waste activity from its shared office facility and of packaging, batteries and electrical equipment placed on the Danish and German markets. These records support environmental reporting and traceability. As reliable operational waste-treatment routes are unavailable, associated Scope 3 Category 5 emissions have not been quantified and are not included in the reported subtotal.
We will work with manufacturing and digital-service suppliers to improve environmental data, use product lifecycle findings to identify relevant design and procurement opportunities, optimise transport where practical, improve waste separation and end-of-life controls, use shared-office energy responsibly, and improve the accuracy of travel and commuting data. Changes will be assessed alongside patient safety and regulatory compliance.
Targets and review
Our approved long-term target is Net Zero by 2045. We have not published an interim percentage-reduction target. We will assess measurable interim targets as the completeness and comparability of our data improve. Sustainability performance is reviewed through management processes and at least annually, with a formal review planned for February.
Approval and transparency
The 2025 greenhouse-gas inventory and evidence have been approved by Cortrium. The supporting calculations, assumptions and source records are maintained in controlled internal documents 05932 and 05933. This public summary describes our approved baseline transparently and does not claim that all corporate emissions have been quantified.
