In 2024, Magnit reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,264,000 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 3 emissions. This marks a significant focus on upstream activities, as no data for Scope 1 or Scope 2 emissions was disclosed for this year. For 2023, Magnit's emissions totalled about 4,570,200 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for approximately 27,421 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 3,852,000 kg CO2e. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions included substantial contributions from business travel (approximately 1,316,218 kg CO2e) and employee commuting (around 2,362,793 kg CO2e). In 2022, the company reported Scope 3 emissions of about 4,441,000 kg CO2e, indicating a trend of high emissions primarily from upstream activities. Magnit 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 lack of emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 in recent years suggests a need for improved transparency and commitment to comprehensive emissions reporting. Overall, while Magnit has made strides in reporting its carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, the absence of reduction targets highlights an area for potential growth in its climate strategy.
