In 2023, Harmonic Inc., headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 362,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 930,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 5,360,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 354,550,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major contributions from the use of sold products (about 196,740,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 66,410,000 kg CO2e). In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of around 382,210,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,190,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 4,480,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching 377,210,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Harmonic has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. Overall, while Harmonic has made strides in tracking its emissions across all scopes, further clarity on reduction strategies and commitments would enhance its sustainability profile.
