In 2023, 1&1 AG reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,772,600 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 456,400 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and about 1,913,944,600 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a significant reliance on indirect emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which encompasses the majority of their carbon footprint. In 2022, the company recorded emissions of around 1,293,500 kg CO2e for Scope 1, with Scope 2 emissions at 0 kg CO2e (location-based) and 359,800 kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions included approximately 97,100 kg CO2e from business travel. The emissions data from previous years shows a trend of increasing Scope 1 emissions, rising from about 493,600 kg CO2e in 2019 to 1,772,600 kg CO2e in 2023. Scope 2 emissions have fluctuated, while Scope 3 emissions have remained significantly high, indicating a need for enhanced strategies to address indirect emissions. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, 1&1 AG has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. This lack of defined climate commitments may suggest an opportunity for the company to enhance its sustainability strategy and align with industry standards for climate action.
