Kearney's reported carbon emissions

Kearney, a professional services firm headquartered in the US, has established significant carbon emissions reduction targets. In 2024, the company reported a total of approximately 71.5 million kg CO2e. This figure breaks down into approximately 1.4 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, approximately 2,403,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (location-based), and approximately 70.1 million kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. Business travel accounts for a substantial portion of their Scope 3 emissions, totalling around 44 million kg CO2e in 2024. Kearney is committed to achieving ambitious climate goals. The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% by 2030, using 2019 as a baseline year. Furthermore, they have set a target to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel by 30% by 2030, and all other absolute Scope 3 emissions by 30% within the same timeframe. Looking further ahead, Kearney is working towards reaching net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by 2050. This long-term objective involves a significant reduction of 90% in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2050. The company has also committed to increasing its sourcing of renewable electricity from 53% in 2019 to 100% by 2025 and maintaining this 100% renewable electricity sourcing through to 2030. Kearney's climate commitments are aligned with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) standards, with their targets covering Scopes 1 and 2 being consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C.
