The Raspberry Pi Foundation, a prominent UK-based charity, was established in 2009 with the mission to promote the study of computer science and related subjects. Headquartered in Cambridge, GB, the Foundation has made significant strides in educational technology, particularly in the realm of affordable computing. Renowned for its innovative Raspberry Pi single-board computers, the Foundation has revolutionised access to programming and electronics for learners worldwide. These compact devices are celebrated for their versatility and cost-effectiveness, making them ideal for both educational institutions and hobbyists. With a strong commitment to fostering creativity and technical skills, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has positioned itself as a leader in the educational technology sector, achieving notable milestones such as the sale of millions of units globally. Its impact on STEM education continues to inspire a new generation of innovators.

In 2023, the Raspberry Pi Foundation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 37,470 kg CO2e in Great Britain. This figure includes 6,850 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 1,860 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 28,760 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all relevant scopes. Comparatively, in 2022, the Foundation's emissions were higher, with a total of 73,530 kg CO2e globally, which included 46,460 kg CO2e from Scope 2 and 27,060 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The reduction in emissions from 2022 to 2023 indicates a positive trend towards lowering their carbon footprint. Despite these figures, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. There are no disclosed climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) targets, suggesting that while they are tracking emissions, they have yet to formalise a comprehensive strategy for significant reductions. Overall, the Raspberry Pi Foundation's emissions data demonstrates a commitment to transparency in reporting, although further steps may be needed to establish clear reduction goals and initiatives.

Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Raspberry Pi Foundation is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
