Gartner

Gartner, a US-based research and development services company, has outlined ambitious climate commitments, including significant reductions in its carbon footprint. For the reporting year 2025, Gartner reported a total of approximately 65.5 million kg CO2e. This breaks down into roughly 697,900 kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 6.4 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and about 58.4 million kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. Key contributors to Gartner's Scope 3 emissions in 2025 were purchased goods and services (approximately 29.1 million kg CO2e) and business travel (around 18 million kg CO2e).

Looking at historical data, Gartner reported approximately 67.7 million kg CO2e in 2024 and about 61.5 million kg CO2e in 2023. In 2022, total emissions were approximately 47.3 million kg CO2e.

Gartner has set near-term targets to reduce its environmental impact. The company aims to achieve near-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by the middle of the current decade. More broadly, Gartner has committed to an absolute reduction of 53% in Scopes 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2029, using 2019 as a base year. Additionally, the company aims to reduce Scope 3 emissions from business travel and employee commuting by 52% per full-time employee by 2029, also from a 2019 baseline. As part of its Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments, Gartner further pledges that 50% of its suppliers, by spend, covering purchased goods and services and capital goods, will set science-based targets by 2027. Notably, Gartner's Scope 1 and 2 targets are consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C.

In previous years, Gartner achieved notable reductions: Scope 1 emissions were reduced by 38.6% against a 2019 base year by 2022, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions also saw a 38.6% reduction against the same 2019 baseline. In 2021, Gartner reported a total reduction of 67% in greenhouse gas emissions against its 2019 baseline, with Scope 2 emissions decreasing by over 30% compared to 2019.
