Scope 3 accounts for ••• of total emissions.
Aspen Technology, Inc. reported total emissions of approximately 84,107,000 kg CO2e in 2024. This figure comprises about 145,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 2,824,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and around 81,208,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Key contributors to Scope 3 included use of sold products (approximately 56,116,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (about 11,455,000 kg CO2e).
Looking back, in 2023, the company's total emissions were approximately 28,323,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at roughly 240,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at around 2,672,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 25,381,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, the total emissions were approximately 22,598,000 kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of roughly 229,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of about 2,376,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 19,993,000 kg CO2e.
For 2021, Aspen Technology, Inc. reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 689,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 7,064,000 kg CO2e. In 2020, Scope 1 emissions were around 711,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 6,508,000 kg CO2e. In 2019, Scope 1 emissions were roughly 723,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were about 6,074,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not available for 2019, 2020, and 2021.
Aspen Technology, Inc. has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero GHG emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2030. They also target a significant reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030, with full net-zero across all scopes by 2045. These targets are detailed in their 2024 Sustainability Report and press releases.
