In 2025, Elastic's total carbon emissions reached approximately 60,200,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 241,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at approximately 504,000 kg CO2e, and a significant Scope 3 contribution of about 59,400,000 kg CO2e. The latter includes major categories such as purchased goods and services (approximately 29,200,000 kg CO2e) and business travel (about 20,100,000 kg CO2e). In 2024, the company reported total emissions of around 56,400,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 65,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at approximately 243,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were significant, totalling about 56,100,000 kg CO2e, primarily driven by purchased goods and services (approximately 35,000,000 kg CO2e). For 2023, Elastic's emissions totalled around 44,500,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 95,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at approximately 238,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were again substantial, at about 44,100,000 kg CO2e, largely from purchased goods and services (approximately 34,200,000 kg CO2e). Elastic has made commitments towards reducing its carbon footprint, although specific reduction targets have been removed or expired as of June 2023. The company is currently committed to near-term targets but has not set a net-zero commitment. The emissions data is sourced directly from Elastic N.V., with no cascaded data from parent or related organizations. Overall, Elastic's emissions profile reflects a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, indicating a need for enhanced strategies to address upstream and downstream impacts in its supply chain and product lifecycle.
