Altair Engineering Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Altair Engineering Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,070,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 sources and about 720,000 kg CO2e from combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This indicates a significant reliance on indirect emissions, as Scope 3 emissions typically encompass the majority of a company's carbon footprint, often arising from the supply chain and product use. Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing these emissions. Altair Engineering's commitment to addressing climate change remains unclear, as they have not outlined specific climate pledges or targets in their available documentation. As a company headquartered in the US, Altair Engineering operates within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and carbon reduction. The absence of defined reduction strategies may position them at a disadvantage in a market that is progressively prioritising environmental responsibility.
