Dolby's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Dolby Laboratories, Inc. reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 43,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 651,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 3,625,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 36,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions are primarily driven by purchased goods and services (about 36,775,000 kg CO2e) and business travel (approximately 9,723,000 kg CO2e). Dolby has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 65% by FY2030 from a FY2019 baseline. Additionally, they are targeting a 30% reduction in Scope 3 emissions related to fuel-and-energy-related activities and business travel by FY2030, alongside a 55% reduction in Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products per unit sold within the same timeframe. Dolby is also committed to sourcing 100% renewable electricity by 2025, which is crucial for achieving these targets. These commitments align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which recognises Dolby's targets as consistent with the reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The company is actively working towards ensuring that 58% of its suppliers, covering purchased goods and services and capital goods, will have science-based targets by FY2027. Overall, Dolby's proactive approach to managing its carbon footprint reflects a strong commitment to sustainability and climate action within the software and services sector.
