This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 1,879,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 607,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 15,955,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions are primarily driven by purchased goods and services, which account for about 10,175,000 kg CO2e, alongside substantial contributions from business travel and upstream transportation. In 2023, Ascom's emissions in the UK were reported at approximately 62,220 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions of about 85,050 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of around 59,050 kg CO2e. The company has demonstrated a commitment to transparency by disclosing emissions across all three scopes. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Ascom has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. This lack of defined reduction strategies may reflect broader industry challenges in establishing effective climate action plans. Ascom's headquarters in Switzerland (CH) positions it within a region increasingly focused on sustainability and carbon reduction, highlighting the importance of future commitments in line with global climate goals.
