OpenClassrooms's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, OpenClassrooms reported total carbon emissions of approximately 989,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 2,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, primarily from purchased electricity, and a significant 987,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals that business travel accounted for about 150,000 kg CO2e, employee commuting contributed around 7,000 kg CO2e, the use of sold products was approximately 593,000 kg CO2e, and purchased goods and services made up about 141,000 kg CO2e. Despite the substantial emissions, OpenClassrooms has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The organisation does not inherit emissions data from a parent company, indicating that their reported figures are solely based on their own operations. OpenClassrooms aims to improve its carbon footprint, with a reported carbon footprint per paying student of about 30.5 kg CO2e in 2023, down from an initial footprint of approximately 34.0 kg CO2e per paying student in 2020. This indicates a positive trend towards reducing emissions per capita, although no formal reduction targets have been established.
