This figure includes 6,369,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 35,598,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and a significant 1,085,791,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major contributions from capital goods (38,050,000 kg CO2e), upstream transportation and distribution (20,781,000 kg CO2e), and purchased goods and services (13,419,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, Disco's emissions were approximately 1,400,249,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 8,434,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at 37,220,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 1,400,249,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Disco has not set specific science-based targets (SBTi) or documented reduction initiatives, which suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments. The company does not appear to inherit emissions data from a parent organization, indicating that all reported figures are self-contained. Overall, Disco's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, which account for the majority of their carbon footprint, underscoring the importance of addressing these areas in future climate strategies.
