In 2023, Harmonic reported total carbon emissions of approximately 277,180,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for about 97% of their total emissions. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 930,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 5,360,000 kg CO2e. The breakdown of Scope 3 emissions includes 196,740,000 kg CO2e from the use of sold products and 66,410,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services. Harmonic's emissions data shows a slight decrease in total emissions from 2022, where they reported approximately 300,740,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions, alongside 1,190,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 and 4,480,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2. This indicates a focus on reducing their carbon footprint, particularly in their supply chain and product lifecycle. Despite these figures, Harmonic has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company operates independently without cascading emissions data from a parent organisation, ensuring that their reported figures reflect their own operational impact. Overall, while Harmonic has made strides in tracking and reporting their emissions, further commitments and reduction strategies will be essential for aligning with industry standards and addressing climate change effectively.
