8x8's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, 8x8, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 503,240 kg CO2e in Great Britain. This figure includes 36,440 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions and 466,800 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals significant contributions from business travel (209,910 kg CO2e) and employee commuting (196,340 kg CO2e), alongside smaller amounts from waste generated in operations (970 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation (2,310 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, the company’s total emissions were about 2,831,090 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,440 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 37,080 kg CO2e, and a substantial Scope 3 total of 2,792,570 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant reduction in emissions from 2022 to 2023, particularly in Scope 3 categories. Despite these figures, 8x8 has not set specific reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that all reported figures are directly from 8x8, Inc. Overall, while 8x8 has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
