In 2023, Humanscale reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 92,375,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 599,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 919,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 92,375,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). The Scope 3 emissions were significantly high, primarily driven by purchased goods and services (60,042,000 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (22,806,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, Humanscale's emissions were approximately 136,123,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions at 647,000 kg CO2e and 1,034,000 kg CO2e, respectively. This indicates a notable reduction in Scope 3 emissions from 2022 to 2023. Humanscale has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, using 2019 as the base year. Additionally, the company plans for 75% of its suppliers, by spend, to have science-based targets by 2027. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with the reductions necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Overall, Humanscale's emissions data and climate commitments reflect a proactive approach to addressing climate change, with a focus on significant reductions in their operational emissions and encouraging their supply chain to follow suit.
