The Scope 1 emissions included 7,695,000 kg CO2e from mobile combustion and 4,086,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion. For Scope 2, all emissions were attributed to purchased electricity. The Scope 3 emissions were primarily driven by business travel (5,002,000 kg CO2e) and waste generated in operations (1,928,000 kg CO2e). In comparison, the 2022 emissions were slightly higher, with total emissions of about 34,000,000 kg CO2e, which included 12,244,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 13,018,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 8,575,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The 2021 data showed a total of approximately 12,031,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 12,250,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, but Scope 3 emissions were not disclosed. Exact Sciences has committed to near-term reduction targets, although specific numerical targets have not been detailed. The company is actively engaged in climate initiatives, as indicated by its commitment status with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). However, it has not yet committed to a net-zero target.
