Dropbox

Dropbox, a US-based computer and related services company, reported total location-based emissions of approximately 39.6 million kg CO2e in 2024. This included about 515,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 35.6 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and 3.49 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 business travel.

In 2023, the company's total reported emissions were approximately 40.6 million kg CO2e, comprising around 699,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 36.6 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and 3.36 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 business travel. For 2022, Dropbox's total emissions were about 39.4 million kg CO2e, with 768,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 36.9 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and 1.69 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 business travel.

Looking further back, in 2021, Dropbox's total emissions were approximately 38.2 million kg CO2e, which included about 1.05 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 37.1 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and 41,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 business travel. In 2020, total emissions were around 55.4 million kg CO2e, consisting of approximately 1.62 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 53.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and 419,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 business travel. The earliest reported data for 2019 shows total emissions of about 60.5 million kg CO2e, with 773,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 54.6 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and 5.11 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 business travel.

Dropbox has set a Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) approved near-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, using a 2020 base year. They also commit to measure and reduce their Scope 3 emissions. Additionally, Dropbox aims for net zero carbon emissions by 2050, with an interim benchmark of 50% carbon emission reduction by 2035 from a 2018 baseline. This net zero target was identified in a document but is not an SBTi-approved net-zero target.
