In 2024, IPG Photonics reported total carbon emissions of approximately 20,877,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 16,927,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, resulting in a combined total of around 37,814,000 kg CO2e. This marks a notable increase from 2023, where emissions were approximately 19,230,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 25,296,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, leading to a total of about 44,526,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, IPG Photonics has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. The company has set a long-term goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, aligning with global efforts from over 120 countries, including the U.S. This commitment encompasses all scopes of emissions, although specific reduction targets have not been detailed. The emissions data indicates a trend of increasing emissions, with 2022 figures showing approximately 15,902,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 44,089,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, totalling around 59,991,000 kg CO2e. This suggests that while IPG Photonics is actively pursuing climate commitments, the challenge of managing and reducing emissions remains significant. Overall, IPG Photonics is on track to meet its long-term climate goals, although it faces the ongoing challenge of emissions management in a growing operational context.
