F5's reported carbon emissions
F5 Inc., headquartered in the US and operating in the computer and related services industry, has established significant carbon emission reduction targets. The company is committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2021 baseline year. Furthermore, F5 aims to decrease its absolute Scope 3 emissions by 43% within the same timeframe. These targets have been verified by the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) and are considered consistent with the trajectory required to limit global warming to 1.5°C. In terms of emissions data, for the year 2024, F5 reported a total of approximately 127.8 million kg CO2e. This figure comprises approximately 872,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions and about 4.8 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions. Scope 3 emissions accounted for the largest portion, totalling approximately 122.1 million kg CO2e. Key contributors to its Scope 3 footprint include the use of sold products (approximately 68.8 million kg CO2e), business travel (about 15.5 million kg CO2e), and purchased goods and services (approximately 14.6 million kg CO2e). In 2023, F5's total emissions were approximately 143.2 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 1.3 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 5.5 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 136.4 million kg CO2e. For the year 2022, total emissions stood at approximately 204.7 million kg CO2e. This included approximately 1.3 million kg CO2e in Scope 1, about 7.2 million kg CO2e in Scope 2, and roughly 196.1 million kg CO2e in Scope 3. In 2021, F5 reported total emissions of approximately 183.2 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at around 1.3 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 5.1 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 176.9 million kg CO2e. Prior to 2023, F5's reporting included Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions but did not provide comprehensive Scope 3 data. For instance, in 2020, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 501,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were about 6.6 million kg CO2e. Similarly, in 2019, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 511,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were about 9.3 million kg CO2e. Earlier data from 2014 shows Scope 1 emissions at approximately 61,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at about 7.5 million kg CO2e, with some Scope 3 data available for business travel.
