Key Performance Indicators

Summary of Key Performance Indicators (KPI)

Unless otherwise indicated, data are from our operations worldwide. Environmental data in this table are presented in absolute terms. See the Environmental Performance section for more information on our metrics at Bristol Myers Squibb.

Figures shown in the below infographic are 2019 metrics against 2015 baseline (does not include former Celgene sites).

After the Celgene acquisition closed in late November 2019, BMS decided to keep heritage BMS (hBMS) and heritage Celgene (hCelgene) sites separate as both companies were on the same 2020 Sustainability Goal reporting timeline (ending in 2020). BMS wanted to close the 2020 Sustainability Goal period without restating it for just one year. 

In addition, hCelgene had just initiated their sustainability data capture process a few years earlier. Integrated sustainability reporting for the combined company began in the first quarter of 2021. BMS is also in the process of baselining hBMS and hCelgene sustainable metrics to 2019 data levels as COVID-19 impacts have clearly been significant in 2020 and will likely continue to be in 2021.

(1) Percent change is calculated on full numbers, not the rounded figures shown.
(2) Scope 1 - Direct energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from operations. U.S./Canada sales fleet has been reassigned to Scope 1 from Scope 3. See details in technical sections.
(3) Scope 2 - Indirect energy use and greenhouse gas emissions only from purchased electricity and steam.
(4) Scope 3 - Energy use and greenhouse gas emissions only from business air travel. See details in technical sections.
(5) Energy from on-site renewable sources is factored into total energy use.

* Integration of Celgene occurred in Q4 of 2019.

2020
(vs 2019)

2016-2019

Indication

GHG Emissions

Scope 1

Companywide

(-4.4%)

(-17.9%)

Many site-specific systems idle or operating at significantly reduced load.

Scope 1
U.S. & Canada
Fleet Operations

(-44.8%)

(-17.9%)

Indicates COVID-19 had a significant fleet operations impact on emissions resulting from Fleet Operations due to restricted travel.

Scope 2
Companywide

1.4%

(-26.3%)

Scope 2 companywide emissions increased in 2020 due to 1) the addition of an eGRID1 subregion for Puerto Rico which significantly increased GHG emission factors and 2) continuing impacts from the January 2020 Puerto Rico earthquake which still requires petroleum (versus natural gas) to generate utility supplied electricity.

Scope 3
Business Air Travel

(-79%)

(-20%)

Indicates COVID-19 had a significant impact on these emissions due to restricted travel.

Total GHG Footprint
(Scopes 1, 2, & 3)

(-16.1%)

(-20.7%)

COVID-19 imposed reduced business air travel and fleet operations had a significant impact on the BMS 2020 total GHG footprint.

Total Energy Use

Scope 1
Direct Energy
Companywide

(-4.4%)

(-17.9%)

No impact from COVID is evident as the 2020 direct energy reduction has essentially mirrored the impact active projects have had on reducing our direct energy use.

Scope 1
Direct Energy
U.S. & Canada
Fleet Operations

(-44.8%)

(-5.1%)

COVID-19 had a significant impact on these emissions as fleet operations were limited.

Scope 2
Indirect Energy
Companywide

(-6.4%)

(-4.1%)

Overall decreased energy use companywide during the pandemic.

Scope 3
Business Air Travel

(-78%)

(-27%)

Indicates COVID-19 had a significant impact on this scope of energy use due to restricted travel.

Total Energy Use
(Scopes 1, 2, & 3)

(-15.3%)

(-13.3%)

COVID-19 imposed reduced business air travel and fleet operations had a significant impact on the BMS 2020 total energy use footprint.

Waste Generated

Hazardous

(-94.0%)

(-91.0%)

Hazardous waste generation has significantly decreased due to a company shift in its product portfolio from manufactured synthetic chemistry products to biological products. In addition, significant network divestitures have impacted (decreased) the generation of hazardous waste.

Non-Hazardous

(-98.0%)

(-55.0%)

COVID-19 had a significant impact on non-hazardous waste generation mainly due to work-from-home requirements.

Total

(-98.0%)

(-69.7%)

Although waste generation rates were decreasing over the reporting period COVID-19 imposed a significant decrease.

Waste Recycled

Hazardous

0%

(-99.5%)

Due to significant changes in the BMS network from 2016-2019, the volume of hazardous waste available for recycling decreased.

Non-Hazardous

(-65.0%)

(-83.1%)

Overall non-hazardous recycling numbers have decreased due to network changes over the reporting period.

Total

(-65.0%)

(-68.8%)

Overall recycling numbers have decreased due to network changes over the reporting period.

Water

Total

(-5.3%)

(-10.8%)

COVID-19 imposed reduced water use resulting from many employees working from home.

 

1 The Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID) is a comprehensive source of data from EPA’s Clean Air Markets Division on the environmental characteristics of almost all electric power generated in the United States.

The data include emissions, emission rates, generation, heat input, resource mix, and many other attributes. eGRID is typically used for greenhouse gas registries and inventories, carbon footprints, consumer information disclosure, emission inventories and standards, power market changes, and avoided emission estimates.

Data from Puerto Rico were added to the Generator, Unit, Plant, State, Balancing Authority, eGRID Subregion, NERC region, and U.S. files. The addition of Puerto Rico resulted in the addition of a new state (Puerto Rico; PR), Balancing Authority (Puerto Rico Miscellaneous; NA), eGRID subregion (Puerto Rico Miscellaneous; PRMS), and NERC region (Puerto Rico; PR) to the eGRID2019 files.
