National Instruments's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, National Instruments reported total carbon emissions of approximately 15,458,000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 906,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 15,458,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions of around 170,601,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce emissions through frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Historically, emissions data shows fluctuations in carbon emissions per employee, with figures such as 17,755 kg CO2e per employee in 2011 and 15,121 kg CO2e in 2009. The company has not established clear reduction targets, which places it in a challenging position within the industry as climate commitments become increasingly critical for corporate responsibility and sustainability. Overall, while National Instruments has made strides in tracking its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets may hinder its ability to effectively address climate change impacts in the long term.
