Kearney

Kearney's climate commitments include a near-term Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% by 2030, from a 2019 base year. Additionally, Kearney aims 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, also from a 2019 base year. The company also commits to increasing annual sourcing of renewable electricity to 100% by 2025 and maintaining this through 2030. For long-term goals, Kearney has set an SBTi target to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by 2050, which includes reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2019 base year, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% within the same timeframe.

In 2025, Kearney reported total emissions of approximately 86,981,000 kg CO2e. This includes about 1,159,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, approximately 192,000 kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2 emissions, and around 85,630,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Business travel within Scope 3 accounted for approximately 56,600,000 kg CO2e in 2025.

Looking back, Kearney's total emissions have varied over recent years. In 2024, total emissions were around 93,700,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 900,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 at about 92,800,000 kg CO2e. In 2023, the total emissions were approximately 78,080,000 kg CO2e, including about 1,436,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 72,000 kg CO2e for market-based Scope 2, and 76,572,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The 2019 base year reported total emissions of approximately 118,600,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 1,500,000 kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 at roughly 3,100,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 114,100,000 kg CO2e.
