In 2022, Mathworks reported total carbon emissions of approximately 30,000,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes 1,017,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Scope 2 emissions, related to indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling, amounted to about 7,769,000 kg CO2e. The most significant contributor to their carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, totalling approximately 20,214,000 kg CO2e, which includes categories such as purchased goods and services (12,905,000 kg CO2e), capital goods (10,005,000 kg CO2e), and employee commuting (4,808,000 kg CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions figures, Mathworks has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined reduction strategies suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. As a company headquartered in the US, Mathworks is positioned to align with global climate goals, yet their current lack of formalised targets may limit their impact on climate change mitigation efforts.
