Bechtle's reported carbon emissions

Bechtle, a computer and related services company based in Germany, has outlined robust climate commitments with detailed emissions data for recent years. For the year 2025, Bechtle reported a total of approximately 2.13 billion kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of Scope 1 emissions totalling around 16.35 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 2.95 million kg CO2e (market-based), and substantial Scope 3 emissions amounting to about 2.09 billion kg CO2e. The largest contributors to their Scope 3 emissions are purchased goods and services (approximately 1.71 billion kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (about 30.08 million kg CO2e). In 2024, Bechtle's total emissions were approximately 2.15 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions around 18.12 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 2.83 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling about 2.12 billion kg CO2e. Looking back, total emissions in 2023 were approximately 2.17 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 at about 19.56 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at roughly 3.59 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 2.14 billion kg CO2e. Bechtle has established ambitious reduction targets. They aim for net-zero emissions for Scope 1 and 2 by 2030. Furthermore, they are committed to reducing Scope 3 emissions by 67% by 2030. In alignment with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C target, Bechtle has committed to reducing absolute greenhouse gas emissions in Scope 1 and 2 categories by 54.4% by 2030, using 2019 as a base year. For Scope 3 emissions, specifically from the categories of "purchased goods and services" and "use of sold products", they aim for a 55% reduction per EUR 1,000 of value added by 2030. Bechtle also has a long-term goal of achieving net-zero across their value chain by 2050. Their data centres have joined the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact, aligning with the goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2030.
