Mathworks's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, MathWorks, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 39,813,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 1,017,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 7,769,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions, which total around 31,027,000 kg CO2e. The breakdown of Scope 3 emissions reveals that capital goods accounted for about 10,005,000 kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at approximately 12,905,000 kg CO2e, and business travel contributing around 2,256,000 kg CO2e. Despite the substantial emissions, MathWorks has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company does not appear to have cascaded emissions data from a parent organisation, indicating that the reported figures are solely from The MathWorks, Inc. Overall, while MathWorks has made strides in measuring its carbon footprint, further transparency regarding reduction strategies and commitments would enhance its climate action profile.
