The company also disclosed Scope 3 emissions, which totalled about 432,173,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant reliance on indirect emissions, particularly from purchased goods and services, which accounted for approximately 170,608,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, Global Payments' emissions were slightly higher, with total emissions of about 60,032,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2 combined, alongside Scope 3 emissions of approximately 566,954,000 kg CO2e. Notably, the company has shown a reduction in Scope 1 emissions from 5,180,000 kg CO2e in 2022 to 5,602,000 kg CO2e in 2023, while Scope 2 emissions decreased from 54,852,000 kg CO2e to 50,710,000 kg CO2e over the same period. Despite these figures, Global Payments has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company operates within an industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon footprint reduction, yet it currently lacks formal commitments to align with science-based targets or other climate initiatives.
