Research Solutions's reported carbon emissions

Research Solutions, headquartered in the United States, has set ambitious climate commitments aimed at significantly reducing its carbon footprint. As of now, there is no available data on absolute carbon emissions (in kg CO2e) for the most recent year. However, the company has established clear targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Research Solutions commits to maintaining zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions through 2030, using 2022 as the base year. This commitment reflects an absolute reduction target of 100% for these scopes. Additionally, the company aims to measure and reduce its Scope 3 emissions, although specific targets for these emissions have not been detailed. These targets have been approved under a streamlined validation route designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), ensuring that their goals align with the necessary reductions to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The commitment to zero emissions in Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2030 demonstrates Research Solutions's proactive approach to climate action and sustainability within the software and services sector.
