Experian

Experian, headquartered in Ireland and operating within financial intermediation services, demonstrates a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. For the year 2024, Experian reported total absolute emissions of approximately 231,500,000 kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of Scope 1 emissions amounting to approximately 2,600,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 4,800,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher, totalling approximately 224,100,000 kg CO2e, with the largest contributors being purchased goods and services (approximately 164,300,000 kg CO2e), employee commute (approximately 17,200,000 kg CO2e), and upstream leased assets (approximately 14,300,000 kg CO2e).

In 2023, Experian's total absolute emissions were approximately 212,000,000 kg CO2e (market-based Scope 1 and 2) and 180,600,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). Scope 1 emissions were approximately 2,800,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) were approximately 7,300,000 kg CO2e. The primary Scope 3 contributors included purchased goods and services (approximately 130,900,000 kg CO2e) and employee commute (approximately 19,700,000 kg CO2e).

Experian has set ambitious climate targets, including a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030, using 2019 as a baseline year. These targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and align with a 1.5°C warming scenario. Furthermore, the company aims to achieve carbon neutrality in its own operations by 2030 and has committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, and business travel by 15% by the same year. Experian also aims to ensure that 78% of its suppliers, by spend, covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream leased assets, will have science-based targets by 2029.
