IEEE Sustainability Profile

Company website

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), headquartered in the United States, is a leading organisation in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics, and computer science. Founded in 1963, IEEE has played a pivotal role in advancing technology through its extensive publications, conferences, and standards development. With a global presence, IEEE operates in major regions including North America, Europe, and Asia, serving a diverse membership of professionals and academics. Its core offerings encompass a wide range of technical resources, including peer-reviewed journals, industry standards, and educational programmes, which are distinguished by their rigorous quality and relevance to contemporary technological challenges. Recognised for its significant contributions to innovation, IEEE continues to maintain a strong market position, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing across various sectors, thereby shaping the future of technology.

IEEE's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) does not report any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of publicly available emissions data. Consequently, there are no recorded Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures to analyse. In terms of climate commitments, IEEE has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This absence of defined targets suggests that IEEE may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. While IEEE does not currently report emissions or reduction initiatives, it is essential for organisations in the technology and engineering sectors to establish clear climate commitments and transparency in emissions reporting. This is increasingly becoming a standard expectation from stakeholders and the public alike.

The carbon intensity of the energy grid powering a company's primary operations has a strong influence on its overall carbon footprint. This request for IEEE is in US, which has a low grid carbon intensity relative to other regions.

IEEE's Climate Goals (2030 & 2050)

Climate goals typically focus on 2030 interim targets and 2050 net-zero commitments, aligned with global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to ensure alignment with global climate goals.

IEEE has not publicly committed to specific 2030 or 2050 climate goals through the major frameworks we track. Companies often set interim 2030 targets and long-term 2050 net-zero goals to demonstrate measurable progress toward decarbonization.
