In 2023, Darktrace, headquartered in Great Britain, has not disclosed specific carbon emissions data. However, the company has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Darktrace has committed to achieving net-zero emissions across its value chain by FY2040. The company has established near-term targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 90.7% by FY2030, using FY2021 as the baseline. Additionally, Darktrace aims to reduce 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 long-term goals, Darktrace plans to maintain at least a 90.7% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions from FY2030 through FY2040, while targeting a 97% reduction in Scope 3 emissions per USD value added by FY2040. 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. Overall, Darktrace's climate strategy reflects a strong commitment to sustainability and significant emissions reductions, positioning the company as a responsible player in the software and services sector.
