Lightspeed's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Lightspeed reported significant carbon emissions, with a total of approximately 2,852,454 kg CO2e attributed to Scope 3 emissions from business travel. This marks a notable focus on indirect emissions, as the company did not disclose any Scope 1 or Scope 2 emissions data for this year. For the previous year, 2022, Lightspeed's total emissions were approximately 966,000 kg CO2e, which included 534,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 193,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 184,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, specifically from business travel. This data indicates a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all three scopes. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Lightspeed has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company’s climate strategy appears to be in its early stages, focusing primarily on emissions disclosure without formalised reduction commitments. Overall, Lightspeed's emissions data reflects a growing awareness of carbon footprints, particularly in the context of business travel, but lacks concrete reduction strategies or targets at this time.
