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 arise from direct operations, and 519,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to purchased electricity and heat. The company also disclosed significant Scope 3 emissions, totalling about 780,896,000 kg CO2e, which encompass indirect emissions from the use of sold products and other activities. Over the years, Netgear's emissions have fluctuated, with a notable increase in total emissions from 1,000,000 kg CO2e in 2012 to the current figure. However, specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Netgear is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised strategies to achieve significant reductions. As a company headquartered in the US, Netgear's climate commitments are crucial in the context of global efforts to mitigate climate change. The technology sector is increasingly under scrutiny to enhance sustainability practices, and Netgear's future initiatives will be essential in aligning with industry standards and expectations.
