This figure includes 2,124,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which primarily arise from direct operations, and 15,196,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to purchased electricity. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the value chain, amounted to 11,093,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, Ribbon Communications has shown fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2021, the total emissions were about 34,366,000 kg CO2e, indicating a reduction in emissions by approximately 5,953,000 kg CO2e by 2023. The company has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have set Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets. The company continues to monitor its emissions across all three scopes, demonstrating a commitment to transparency in its climate impact reporting. However, without defined reduction targets, the path forward for further emissions reductions remains unclear.
