OSRAM Licht AG

OSRAM Licht AG, headquartered in Germany and operating within the radio, television, and communication equipment and apparatus industry, has set a significant climate objective. The company aims to reduce the carbon footprint of its own operations (Scope 1 and 2 emissions) to zero by 2030. This commitment was announced in November 2019.

For the 2020 reporting year, OSRAM Licht AG reported Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 29.2 million kg CO2e, with stationary combustion accounting for about 26.5 million kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions, based on the market-based approach, were approximately 207.1 million kg CO2e, primarily driven by purchased electricity of around 200 million kg CO2e. The location-based Scope 2 emissions were higher, at approximately 260.5 million kg CO2e.

In 2019, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 30.2 million kg CO2e, with stationary combustion being about 26.8 million kg CO2e. Scope 2 market-based emissions stood at approximately 238.7 million kg CO2e, with purchased electricity accounting for roughly 231 million kg CO2e. Location-based Scope 2 emissions were around 279.6 million kg CO2e.

Previously, in 2018, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 31,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 market-based emissions were around 6,300 kg CO2e. Location-based Scope 2 emissions were approximately 286,200 kg CO2e.

For 2017, the company reported combined Scope 1 and 2 market-based emissions of approximately 240 million kg CO2e. In 2016, Scope 1 emissions were about 33.3 million kg CO2e, with stationary combustion at approximately 30 million kg CO2e. Scope 2 market-based emissions were around 229 million kg CO2e, and purchased electricity contributed approximately 223.2 million kg CO2e. In 2015, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 33.8 million kg CO2e, with stationary combustion at about 30 million kg CO2e. Scope 2 market-based emissions were roughly 224.4 million kg CO2e, with purchased electricity accounting for approximately 218.7 million kg CO2e.

OSRAM Licht AG's data is reported directly from the organisation itself, and no cascading from a parent organisation is indicated. The company's reporting does not currently include Scope 3 emissions data, with "purchased goods and services" being a noted missing data point.
