Nlight's reported carbon emissions
In 2019, Nlight reported its greenhouse gas emissions intensity from its Vancouver, WA facility, which amounted to approximately 0.0023 kg CO2e per $1 million of total corporate revenue. However, specific total emissions data for Scope 1, 2, or 3 were not disclosed, indicating a lack of comprehensive emissions reporting for that year. Currently, Nlight does not have any publicly stated reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions intensity, it may not yet have established formal strategies to mitigate its carbon footprint. As a company headquartered in the US, Nlight operates within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and climate responsibility. The lack of detailed emissions data and reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for Nlight to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for emissions reduction.
