In 2023, Global Payments reported total carbon emissions of approximately 432,173,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 5,602,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 50,710,000 kg CO2e. The majority of their emissions stemmed from Scope 3, which accounted for about 432,173,000 kg CO2e, highlighting the significant impact of their supply chain and operational activities. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of around 566,954,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 5,180,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 54,852,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023, reflecting their ongoing commitment to improving sustainability. Despite these reductions, Global Payments has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of formal reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to measurable climate action. Overall, Global Payments' emissions data underscores the importance of addressing both direct and indirect emissions to achieve meaningful climate impact, particularly in the context of their substantial Scope 3 emissions.
