In 2023, the total reported emissions for Havas were approximately 34,736,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 2,584,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were about 4,323,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2023 were approximately 27,829,000 kg CO2e, with notable categories including business travel (approximately 10,569,000 kg CO2e) and employee commute (approximately 10,039,000 kg CO2e).

Havas has set several climate commitments and targets. The company aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025. Through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), Havas has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 63.0% by 2035 from a 2024 base year. Additionally, Havas commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 37.5% by 2035 from a 2024 base year. These near-term targets are classified as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.

Further, Havas targets a 71% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy consumption (Scopes 1 and 2) by 2035, using a 2023 or 2024 base year depending on the specific document, and aims to increase active annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 79.0% in 2024 to 100.0% by 2030. The company also intends to reduce emissions linked to business operations (business travel, fixed assets, waste, freight) by 43% by 2035 from a 2023 base year. Havas is also committed to inciting its suppliers to have a measurable decarbonisation trajectory, targeting 85% of emissions by 2026. The company also references a long-term Net Zero emission reduction target to reduce all emissions by at least 90% by 2050, aligned with SBTi.
