In 2024, Ascom reported total carbon emissions of approximately 18,441,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 1,879,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 607,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, primarily from purchased electricity (573,000 kg CO2e) and purchased heat (34,000 kg CO2e). The majority of their emissions, about 15,955,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which includes indirect emissions from the value chain, such as purchased goods and services (10,175,000 kg CO2e) and business travel (1,356,000 kg CO2e). In 2023, Ascom's total emissions were significantly lower at approximately 4,801,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 988,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 466,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for that year were around 3,346,000 kg CO2e, indicating a substantial reliance on indirect emissions. Ascom has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, and there are no reported SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets. 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 significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which presents opportunities for future reduction initiatives and commitments to enhance sustainability practices.
