Prosus's reported carbon emissions

Prosus, headquartered in the Netherlands and operating in Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology), has reported significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and established ambitious climate commitments. For the reporting year 2025, Prosus reported approximately 14,048,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions. Within this, purchased goods and services accounted for about 8,085,000 kg CO2e, and business travel contributed approximately 5,818,000 kg CO2e. For 2024, total Scope 3 emissions were approximately 7,797,000 kg CO2e, with business travel being a significant contributor at around 4,842,000 kg CO2e. In 2023, Prosus reported total Scope 1 emissions of 16,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of 67,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 7,127,000 kg CO2e. The largest portion of these Scope 3 emissions was from purchased goods and services, totalling approximately 3,848,000 kg CO2e. Emissions data for 2022 show Scope 1 at 15,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based at 36,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 4,709,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, Scope 1 emissions were 15,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were 31,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 3,361,000 kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services being the largest component at about 3,164,000 kg CO2e. For 2020, Prosus reported Scope 1 emissions of 31,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of 7,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 9,918,000 kg CO2e, with business travel representing the majority at roughly 7,390,000 kg CO2e. Prosus has committed to reducing its corporate emissions in line with a net-zero climate scenario. This includes a target of achieving a 100% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by FY28, using FY20 as a base year. Following this reduction, the company commits to maintaining emissions at zero. Furthermore, Prosus has committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from air business travel by 30% by FY30, also from a FY20 base year. A long-term commitment is to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. It is important to note that Prosus's climate data and initiatives are cascaded from its parent organisation, Prosus N.V., and that their SBTi targets are cascaded from Naspers Limited, which is identified as the source organisation for SBTi initiatives with a cascade level of 1. Prosus N.V. is also the source for CDP initiatives and climate pledge signing.
