National Instruments's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, National Instruments reported total carbon emissions of approximately 206,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 906,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 15,458,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 186,461,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions were primarily driven by purchased goods and services (about 170,601,000 kg CO2e), employee commuting (approximately 3,234,000 kg CO2e), and business travel (around 3,381,000 kg CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions, National Instruments has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company is a current subsidiary of Emerson Electric Co., which may influence its climate strategies and reporting. However, no specific SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets have been established or cascaded from Emerson Electric Co. to National Instruments. Overall, while National Instruments has made strides in emissions reporting, further clarity on reduction initiatives and commitments would enhance their sustainability profile.
