Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc

Thermo Fisher Scientific's disclosures indicate that its climate-related engagement is only beginning to be governed: while "the government relations department communicates engagement activities as required to employees involved in climate change strategy development and implementation," the company does not report any formal review or approval process to ensure consistency with its net-zero emissions objectives. Instead, it notes that "we will be developing processes over the next 6 to 18 months to ensure that our engagement activities are consistent with our strategy to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer," suggesting a plan rather than an existing framework. The company also confirms that it does not have, and "does not plan to have" a public commitment to align its engagement activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement, and it does not disclose any specific individual or body overseeing the alignment of its lobbying or engagement with its climate strategy.
