Netgear's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Netgear reported total carbon emissions of approximately 781,819,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 404,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which primarily stem from stationary and mobile combustion, and 519,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, mainly from purchased electricity. The majority of their emissions, about 780,896,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which encompasses business travel, employee commuting, and the use of sold products. Comparatively, in 2022, Netgear's total emissions were significantly higher at approximately 1,751,691,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 387,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 1,220,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were about 1,750,084,000 kg CO2e, indicating a substantial reliance on this category for overall emissions. Netgear has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments. The company does not appear to inherit emissions data from a parent organisation, maintaining its own reporting structure. Overall, while Netgear's emissions have decreased from 2022 to 2023, the lack of formal reduction commitments suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability.
