Gartner

Gartner, a US-based research and development services company, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 65,531,800 kg CO2e in 2025. This total comprised 697,900 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 6,406,000 kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2, and 58,427,900 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions included business travel (17,966,800 kg CO2e), employee commuting (6,034,700 kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (29,054,200 kg CO2e), capital goods (3,275,700 kg CO2e), and fuel and energy-related activities (1,985,000 kg CO2e).

Looking back, Gartner's total emissions were approximately 67,679,200 kg CO2e in 2024, with Scope 1 at 917,200 kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 at 7,040,300 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 59,721,700 kg CO2e. In 2023, the total emissions stood at about 61,472,600 kg CO2e, consisting of 1,244,400 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 8,313,100 kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2, and 51,915,100 kg CO2e from Scope 3.

Gartner has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of this decade (2025). Furthermore, Gartner Inc. commits to an absolute reduction of Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 53% by 2029, against a 2019 base year. For Scope 3, Gartner Inc. aims for a 52% reduction in GHG emissions from business travel and employee commuting per full-time employee by 2029, also from a 2019 base year. The company further commits that 50% of its suppliers, by spend covering purchased goods and services and capital goods, will set science-based targets by 2027. These near-term targets for Scope 1 and 2 are classified as consistent with a 1.5°C warming scenario by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Gartner also has a long-term goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

In terms of past achievements, Gartner reported a 38.6% reduction in Scope 1 emissions in 2022 compared to its 2019 baseline, with Scope 1 emissions totalling 2,259,300 kg CO2e. Similarly, market-based Scope 2 emissions saw a 38.6% reduction in 2022 against the 2019 base year, totalling 9,747,600 kg CO2e. In 2021, the company achieved a 67% reduction in total GHG emissions (including Scope 1) against a 2019 base year, with total emissions at 18,787,000 kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions decreased by over 30% in 2021 compared to the 2019 baseline.
