BLACK BOX's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, BLACK BOX reported total carbon emissions of approximately 11,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 5,983,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 3,397,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 2,697,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data is cascaded from its parent company, Black Box Corporation, reflecting the emissions profile of the current subsidiary, Black Box Limited. Despite the significant emissions figures, BLACK BOX has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. As a company headquartered in Great Britain, BLACK BOX is positioned within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and carbon reduction. The lack of defined climate pledges or reduction initiatives suggests that BLACK BOX may need to enhance its commitment to addressing climate change and aligning with global sustainability goals.
