Powerschool's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, Powerschool reported total carbon emissions of approximately 89,100 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 370,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 206,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, amounting to a total of about 665,100 kg CO2e. This marked a significant reduction from 2019, where emissions were approximately 343,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 2,236,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 1,692,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, totalling around 4,271,000 kg CO2e. Despite these reductions, Powerschool has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at further decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of detailed climate commitments or science-based targets suggests a need for enhanced transparency and strategic planning in their sustainability efforts. Overall, while Powerschool has made strides in reducing emissions, the lack of formalised climate pledges or targets indicates an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
