Darktrace's reported carbon emissions

Darktrace, headquartered in Great Britain, has made significant commitments towards reducing its carbon emissions. Although specific emissions data for the most recent year is not available, the company has set ambitious targets to address its greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes. Darktrace has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by FY2040. In the near term, the company aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by approximately 90.7% by FY2030, using FY2021 as the baseline year. Additionally, Darktrace plans to cut its Scope 3 emissions—covering areas such as purchased goods and services, business travel, and downstream leased assets—by 63% per USD value added within the same timeframe. For the long term, Darktrace intends to maintain at least a 90.7% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions from FY2030 through FY2040. Furthermore, the company aims for a 97% reduction in Scope 3 emissions per USD value added by FY2040, again using FY2021 as the baseline. These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with the reductions necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Darktrace's proactive approach underscores its commitment to sustainability and climate responsibility within the software and services sector.
