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 responsible for approximately 593,000 kg CO2e, and purchased goods and services added about 141,000 kg CO2e. OpenClassrooms has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor do they have any data cascaded from a parent organisation. The company is actively working to understand and manage its carbon footprint, with a reported carbon footprint per paying student of about 30.5 kg CO2e in 2023, down from 34.0 kg CO2e in 2020. This indicates a positive trend in reducing emissions per student, although no formal reduction targets have been established.
