3D Systems Corporation's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, 3D Systems Corporation, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,690,000 kg CO2e, comprising 78,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2,612,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This represents a decrease from 2022, where total emissions were about 2,915,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 86,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 2,829,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a potential area for future reporting and improvement. Notably, 3D Systems has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which may limit its ability to demonstrate a proactive approach to climate commitments. Overall, while 3D Systems has shown a reduction in emissions over the past year, the absence of formal reduction targets and Scope 3 emissions data suggests that further transparency and commitment to climate action could enhance its sustainability profile.
