Definitive Healthcare's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Definitive Healthcare reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,000,000 kg CO2e. This total includes Scope 1 emissions of about 9,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 201,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions amounting to around 790,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals significant contributions from employee commuting (about 579,000 kg CO2e) and business travel (approximately 282,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2023, the company recorded total emissions of approximately 1,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 16,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 218,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching around 766,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight reduction in total emissions from the previous year. Definitive Healthcare has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company operates independently without cascading emissions data from a parent organisation, ensuring that its reported figures reflect its own operational impact. Overall, while Definitive Healthcare has made strides in tracking its emissions, further commitments and reduction strategies may be necessary to enhance its climate action efforts.
