83% renewable electricity in 2025, targeting 100% by 2030Data confidence — high

AbbVie procures renewable electricity through Energy Attribute Certificates (RECs, I-RECs, European Guarantees of Origin) and on-site solar at six sites (Ballytivnan, Barceloneta, Campoverde, Ludwigshafen, Heredia, Liège). Renewable electricity rose from 29.5% in 2021 to 83.2% in 2025. A centralized Renewable Energy fund accelerates active sourcing. Target: 100% renewable electricity by 2030 (SBTi-validated).

sustainability_report p.51

No carbon offsets or removals usedData confidence — high

AbbVie explicitly states: 'We have not purchased, and do not currently anticipate purchasing, carbon offset credits to meet our near-term targets.' Decarbonization relies on direct emissions reductions via energy efficiency, fleet electrification, renewable energy procurement, physical footprint optimization and supplier engagement — not removals or offsets.

Primary: Energy efficiency capital fundData confidence — high

Centralized capital expenditure fund approved $15.1M for ~65 projects in 2025 (solar upgrades, boilers, chillers, HVAC, LED, heat recovery, VFDs), expected to avoid ~3,700 tCO2e. Progress: 8% Scope 1+2 reduction since 2021; targeting additional 5-7% by 2030.

sustainability_report p.50

Primary: Fleet electrification (Project Green Wave)Data confidence — high

Transitioning ICE fleet to hybrid, electric and flex-fuel. Grew from ~1,300 EVs/hybrids in 2021 to 4,800+ globally in 2025. Project Green Wave promotes employee selection of EV/hybrid/biofuel. Targeting 7-10% Scope 1 reduction by 2030.

sustainability_report p.51

Primary: On-site renewable generation and PPAsData confidence — high

On-site photovoltaic solar at 6 sites globally; Campoverde Italy expanded its solar plant in 2025 saving ~900 tCO2e annually. Combined with EAC purchases, drove 10% Scope 2 reduction since 2021; targeting 25-30% reduction by 2030.

sustainability_report p.51

Primary: Physical footprint optimizationData confidence — high

Ongoing assessment of global affiliate real estate and manufacturing footprint; integrating resiliency, energy efficiency and decarbonization into design of new/expanded facilities. Achieved 21.5% Scope 1+2 reduction since 2021 from this pillar; projected 10-15% by 2030.

sustainability_report p.50

Dependent: Supplier SBTi engagement (Scope 3)Data confidence — high

Engaging suppliers in Purchased Goods & Services, Capital Goods and Upstream Transport to set their own SBTi targets. 51.4% of suppliers by emissions had set science-based targets by end of 2025, up from 15.7% in 2021. Target: 79.1% by 2027 (SBTi-validated).
