Etsy's Climate Commitments and Carbon Emissions

Etsy, a US-based retail trade services company, is committed to reducing its environmental impact. The company has set ambitious climate targets aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

For the most recent reporting year, 2025, Etsy reported the following emissions:

• Scope 1 emissions: Approximately 333,000 kg CO2e
• Scope 2 emissions: Approximately 915,000 kg CO2e
• Scope 3 emissions: Approximately 416,665,000 kg CO2e

The primary contributor to Etsy's Scope 3 emissions in 2025 was downstream transportation and distribution, accounting for approximately 332,150,000 kg CO2e. Other significant Scope 3 categories include purchased goods and services (approximately 73,330,000 kg CO2e) and use of sold products (approximately 5,881,000 kg CO2e).

In 2024, Etsy reported total emissions of approximately 461,320,000 kg CO2e, comprising:

• Scope 1 emissions: Approximately 284,000 kg CO2e
• Scope 2 emissions: Approximately 926,000 kg CO2e
• Scope 3 emissions: Approximately 460,092,000 kg CO2e

Climate Reduction Targets and Initiatives

Etsy has established several reduction targets:

• Net-Zero Target: Etsy commits to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040, with a 2020 base year.
• Scope 1 & 2 Absolute Emissions:
  • A 50% reduction by 2030 (from a 2020 base year).
  • A 90% reduction by 2040 (from a 2020 base year).
• Scope 3 Intensity Emissions:
  • A 52% reduction per million dollars of gross profit by 2030 (from a 2020 base year).
  • A 97% reduction per million dollars of gross profit by 2040 (from a 2020 base year).

Previously, Etsy aimed for a 25% reduction in the intensity of its energy use by 2025, and to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025.
