Headline intensities

Reporting year 2023·Values in USD ($)
Peer cohort: Pharma Manufacturing · lower is better
Revenue intensity
Carbon / $m revenue
162tCO2e / $m

Carbon per million dollars of revenue. The legacy industry-standard reference (CDP, MSCI). Useful for cross-sector context, but distorted by margin — high-margin firms appear artificially efficient. Read alongside the operational and asset intensities for the full picture.

Bottom quartile
better than 21% of peers
best 90.9n=3 peersworst 162
Operational intensity
Carbon / $m OpEx
236tCO2e / $m

OpEx (operating expenditure) is the running cost of the business — staff, services, energy, materials. This shows how carbon-intensive operations are per million dollars of spend. Removes the margin distortion that revenue-based ratios introduce.

Bottom quartile
better than 17% of peers
best 99.7n=3 peersworst 236
Economic intensity
Carbon / $m EVIC
9.99tCO2e / $m

EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) is the firm's total capital footprint — equity + debt + cash + minority interest. The EU's standard intensity measure (SFDR PAI 3) — answers: how much carbon does each million of capital deployed in this business produce?

Top quartile
better than 75% of peers
best 9.99n=3 peersworst 22.9
Asset intensity
Carbon / $m PP&E + leased
427tCO2e / $m

PP&E (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus leased real-estate assets is the firm's physical infrastructure on the balance sheet. This shows the carbon intensity of that physical footprint — uses Scope 1+2+3 for consistency with the other headline intensities. Surfaces stranded-asset risk for asset-heavy firms.

    • First comprehensive Scope 3 inventory across all 15 categories

      2021 was the first year Lilly performed a detailed assessment of all relevant categories of Scope 3 emissions. This significantly expanded reported emissions transparency, with Scope 3 representing >80% of total emissions. Note: Cat 2 (capital goods) bundled into Cat 1 due to data limitations.
