Alphabet's reported carbon emissions
Alphabet, headquartered in the US and operating within the Computer and related services industry (72), has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its environmental impact. In 2024, Alphabet reported total emissions of approximately 15.2 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 73.1 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of approximately 3.1 billion kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions totalling around 12.1 billion kg CO2e. The company has set ambitious climate targets, aiming for net-zero emissions across all its operations and value chain by 2030. A key component of this strategy is to reduce the majority of its emissions relative to a 2019 baseline before 2030. Alphabet also plans to invest in both nature-based and technology-based carbon removal solutions to neutralise its remaining emissions. Furthermore, it is working towards reducing its combined Scope 1, 2 (market-based), and 3 absolute emissions by 50% against its 2019 baseline by 2030.
