Harmonic's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Harmonic, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 277,180,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes 930,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, which covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 5,360,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. The majority of their emissions, about 270,290,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which encompasses all other indirect emissions in the value chain. Notably, the largest contributors to Scope 3 emissions include the use of sold products (196,740,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (66,410,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, Harmonic's total emissions were approximately 300,740,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,190,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 4,480,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were about 295,070,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight decrease in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Despite these figures, Harmonic has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments. The company does not appear to inherit emissions data from a parent organisation, maintaining its own reporting standards. Harmonic's emissions data reflects a comprehensive approach to tracking carbon outputs, although further commitments to reduction strategies would enhance their climate responsibility profile.
