In 2023, Getech, headquartered in Great Britain, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,648,218 kg CO2e. This figure includes 467,264 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Scope 2 emissions, related to the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling, amounted to about 43,241 kg CO2e (location-based). The majority of emissions, approximately 1,137,713 kg CO2e, were classified as Scope 3, which encompasses indirect emissions from the value chain. Notably, business travel contributed about 325,867 kg CO2e, while waste generated in operations accounted for approximately 230,765 kg CO2e. In 2022, Getech's total emissions were about 1,537,082 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 6,845 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 40,730 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for that year were significantly higher, at around 1,489,507 kg CO2e, indicating a strong reliance on indirect emissions sources. Despite these figures, Getech has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. The company’s climate strategy appears to be in its early stages, with no formal climate pledges reported. Overall, Getech's emissions data reflects a substantial carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, highlighting the need for enhanced climate commitments and reduction strategies moving forward.
