Ceridian's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Ceridian reported total carbon emissions of approximately 57,981,710 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions accounted for about 17,010 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions were significantly higher at approximately 57,971,000 kg CO2e. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions included about 966,520 kg CO2e from employee commutes and approximately 192,710 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations. Ceridian's emissions data reflects a commitment to transparency and accountability in its climate impact. However, the company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments. This lack of formal targets suggests that while Ceridian is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have established a comprehensive strategy for significant reductions. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that Ceridian LLC independently reports its climate impact. As a company headquartered in the US, Ceridian is positioned within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and climate action, aligning with global efforts to mitigate climate change.
