Nlight's reported carbon emissions

In 2019, Nlight reported its greenhouse gas emissions, focusing on its operations globally. The company disclosed a GHG emissions intensity of approximately 0.0023 kg CO2e per $1 million of total corporate revenue, which reflects its Scope 1 emissions from its Vancouver, WA facility. However, specific total emissions figures for Scope 1, 2, and 3 were not provided. Currently, Nlight has not established any formal reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This indicates a potential area for growth in their climate strategy, as many companies in the industry are increasingly setting ambitious targets to reduce their carbon footprint. As Nlight continues to navigate its environmental impact, the focus on transparency and future commitments will be crucial in aligning with global climate goals.
