The previous year, 2022, saw total emissions of about 566,954,000 kg CO2e, indicating a significant reduction in emissions. The company’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined totalled approximately 56,312,000 kg CO2e in 2023, down from 60,032,000 kg CO2e in 2022. This reduction reflects a commitment to improving operational efficiency and reducing direct and indirect emissions associated with energy consumption. Despite these reductions, Global Payments has not publicly disclosed specific science-based targets or climate pledges aimed at further reducing emissions. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that while the company is making progress, there may be opportunities for more structured climate commitments in line with industry standards. Overall, Global Payments is actively working towards lowering its carbon footprint, with a focus on reducing emissions across all scopes, particularly in its supply chain and operational activities.
