Havas

Havas, headquartered in France and operating within the other business services sector, reported approximately 37.4 billion kg CO2e in total emissions for 2024. This figure encompasses Scope 1 emissions of about 2.6 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 3.3 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 31.5 billion kg CO2e.

In 2023, Havas's total emissions were approximately 34.7 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 2.6 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 4.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 27.8 billion kg CO2e.

Havas has set ambitious climate commitments:

• Scopes 1 & 2 Reduction: A target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy consumption (Scopes 1 & 2) by 71% by 2035, with a baseline year of 2023.
• Scope 3 Reduction: A commitment to reduce emissions linked to business operations (business travel, fixed assets, waste, freight) by 43% by 2035, also from a 2023 baseline.
• Carbon Neutrality: Havas previously committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2025.

The company's disclosed emissions data indicates a strong focus on Scope 3, with business travel and employee commute being significant contributors in both 2023 and 2024. Scope 3 emissions also include categories such as capital goods and fuel and energy-related activities. For Scope 2, Havas reports both market-based and location-based figures, with the market-based approach being lower.

Havas's sustainability reports also highlight efforts such as inciting suppliers to adopt measurable decarbonisation trajectories, aiming for 85% of emissions covered by 2026. The company is also aligned with climate science and has set long-term Net Zero emission reduction targets to reduce all emissions by at least 90% by 2050, which are approved by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
