This figure includes 1,879,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which primarily stem from mobile combustion (1,698,000 kg CO2e) and fugitive emissions (144,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 emissions accounted for 607,000 kg CO2e, with the majority coming from purchased electricity (573,000 kg CO2e). The most significant portion of emissions, 15,955,000 kg CO2e, was attributed to Scope 3, which includes categories such as purchased goods and services (10,175,000 kg CO2e) and business travel (1,356,000 kg CO2e).

The Scope 3 emissions for 2023 were approximately 3,346,000 kg CO2e, indicating a significant increase in emissions in 2024. Ascom has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, and there are no SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets reported. The emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, and all figures are directly reported by Ascom Holding AG. Overall, Ascom's emissions profile highlights a substantial reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which presents opportunities for future reduction strategies.
