In the preceding year, 2023, the company's total emissions were approximately 292.1 million kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 11.8 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of around 5.6 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 275 million kg CO2e. Looking further back, in 2022, Montrose Environmental's total emissions were approximately 133.1 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 12.1 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at around 6.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 114.8 million kg CO2e.

Montrose Environmental has set ambitious climate commitments validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company commits to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040. Its near-term targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, from a 2022 base year. Simultaneously, Montrose Environmental aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, and use of sold products by 42% within the same timeframe. For its long-term goals, the company commits to a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2040, again from a 2022 base year. This long-term commitment also extends to Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, business travel, employee commuting, and use of sold products, targeting a 90% reduction within the same period. These targets indicate a strong commitment to decarbonisation in line with a 1.5°C warming scenario.
