**Barco's Climate Commitments and Emissions Performance** Barco NV, headquartered in Belgium and operating in the Computer and related services industry, is committed to ambitious climate action. The company has set a long-term goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. **Emissions Data (in kg CO2e):** * **2025:** Barco reported a total of approximately 534,108,000 kg CO2e. This includes approximately 2,237,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 1,262,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 530,609,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. Key Scope 3 categories include use of sold products (approximately 267,552,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 176,681,000 kg CO2e). * **2024:** Total emissions were approximately 531,223,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 2,647,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 1,970,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 526,606,000 kg CO2e. * **2023:** Total emissions amounted to approximately 528,515,000 kg CO2e, comprising approximately 3,064,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 1,331,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 524,120,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. * **2022:** Total emissions were approximately 330,424,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 3,057,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 783,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were reported at approximately 326,583,000 kg CO2e, primarily driven by the use of sold products. * **2021:** Total emissions were approximately 281,874,000 kg CO2e, including approximately 3,256,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 459,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and approximately 278,160,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 (use of sold products). * **2020:** Total emissions were approximately 277,335,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 3,145,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 215,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 273,975,000 kg CO2e (use of sold products). * **2019:** Total emissions were approximately 458,441,000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 (approximately 4,044,000 kg CO2e), Scope 2 (approximately 5,138,000 kg CO2e), and Scope 3 (approximately 449,259,000 kg CO2e, use of sold products). * **2018:** Total emissions were approximately 564,753,000 kg CO2e. Specific scope breakdowns are not available for this year. * **2017:** No specific emissions data is available for 2017. * **2016:** No specific emissions data is available for 2016. * **2015:** Total emissions data is not fully detailed by scope, but Scope 1 was approximately 5,262,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) was approximately 5,565,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions are partially detailed, including business travel (approximately 12,857,000 kg CO2e), employee commute (approximately 3,439,000 kg CO2e), use of sold products (approximately 716,700,000 kg CO2e), waste generated in operations (approximately 489,000 kg CO2e), fuel and energy-related activities (approximately 1,491,000 kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 53,539,000 kg CO2e). **Climate Targets and Initiatives:** Barco has aligned its emissions reduction strategy with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). * **Near-Term Targets:** * Barco has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2025, using a 2015 baseline. * More recently, Barco NV commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2024 base year, and absolute Scope 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2024 base year. * Furthermore, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% by 2030 from a 2024 base year, covering specific categories such as fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, employee commuting, downstream transportation and distribution, processing of sold products, use of sold products, and downstream leased assets. * Barco also commits that 30% of its suppliers by emissions, covering purchased goods and services, and upstream transportation and distribution, will have science-based targets by 2030. * **Long-Term Targets:** * Barco NV has committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. * As part of this commitment, Barco aims to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2024 base year. Previously, Barco had a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its own operations by 35% by 2023 against a 2015 baseline, a target that has been met. The company is actively working on developing a transition plan in line with upcoming legislative requirements to achieve its near-term 2030 and long-term 2050 net-zero carbon reduction targets.
