Quest Software's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Quest Software reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 28,862,400 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 9,447,400 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and a substantial 21,217,938,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. The breakdown of Scope 3 emissions includes 9,726,000 kg CO2e from business travel, 126,082,000 kg CO2e from employee commuting, 18,224,000 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations, and 61,424,000 kg CO2e from fuel and energy-related activities, among others. Despite the extensive emissions data, Quest Software has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions profile, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for climate action. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Quest Software's future commitments will be crucial in aligning with global climate goals.
