Gartner has established several climate commitments. The company aims to achieve near-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by the middle of this decade (2023-2025). Furthermore, Gartner is committed to an absolute reduction of Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 53% by 2029, against a 2019 base year. For Scope 3 emissions, Gartner has pledged to reduce emissions from business travel and employee commuting by 52% per full-time employee by 2029, also from a 2019 base year. The company also aims for 50% of its suppliers, by spend, covering purchased goods and services and capital goods, to set science-based targets by 2027. These near-term targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C. Gartner is also committed to achieving "net zero" emissions by 2050, requiring a collective halving of emissions by 2030 relative to 2010 levels.
The company has already demonstrated progress, with Scope 1 emissions in 2022 totalling 2,259.3 tonnes CO2e, representing a 38.6% reduction against a 2019 base year. Similarly, Scope 2 market-based emissions in 2022 totalled 9,747.6 tonnes CO2e, also a 38.6% reduction compared to 2019. In 2021, Gartner's overall GHG emissions showed a 67% reduction against a 2019 base year, and Scope 2 emissions decreased by more than 30% compared to its 2019 baseline. All emissions and reduction target data are directly from Gartner, Inc. as the source organisation.
