Harmonic's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Harmonic reported total carbon emissions of approximately 277,180,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, alongside 930,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 5,360,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, resulting in a total of approximately 6,290,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined. This reflects a slight increase in Scope 3 emissions compared to previous years, indicating ongoing challenges in managing indirect emissions. In 2022, the company recorded approximately 300,740,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions at about 5,672,000 kg CO2e. The trend shows a gradual increase in emissions over the years, with 2021 emissions at approximately 211,850,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 and 5,495,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2. Harmonic has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing carbon emissions, particularly in the technology sector, where supply chain and product use emissions (Scope 3) often dominate the carbon footprint. Overall, while Harmonic's emissions data highlights the scale of their carbon impact, the absence of clear reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate action and accountability moving forward.
