Lightspeed's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Lightspeed reported total carbon emissions of approximately 966,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 534,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 193,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions, which encompass all other indirect emissions in the value chain, accounted for about 184,000 kg CO2e. Despite these emissions figures, Lightspeed has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate commitments suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Lightspeed's future commitments will be crucial in aligning with global climate goals.
