Sage's reported carbon emissions

Sage, a software publisher headquartered in Great Britain, has established comprehensive climate commitments. The company is dedicated to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its value chain by 2040, with a near-term goal of halving its absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 2030 against a 2019 baseline. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), aligning with a 1.5°C warming pathway.

For the 2025 reporting year, Sage reported total global emissions of approximately 167.4 million kg CO2e. This figure breaks down into approximately 1.15 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, approximately 3.08 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (location-based), and a substantial 165.99 million kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. Significant contributors to Scope 3 emissions include purchased goods and services (approximately 69.32 million kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (approximately 65.99 million kg CO2e).

In the 2024 reporting year, Sage's total global emissions were approximately 193.43 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions amounted to approximately 1.4 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (location-based) emissions were approximately 3.24 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled approximately 190.15 million kg CO2e. The largest components of Scope 3 were the use of sold products (approximately 88.54 million kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 79.53 million kg CO2e).

For the 2023 reporting year, total global emissions were approximately 193.95 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 1.23 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (location-based) at approximately 3.26 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 191.32 million kg CO2e.

Sage is actively working towards its emissions reduction goals. For example, the company aims to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 75% by 2030. Furthermore, they have set a goal to reduce their Scope 3 emissions by 13% by 2030, with specific targets for homeworking, hotel stays, and the use of sold products aiming for a 50% reduction within the same timeframe. Sage also aims to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of the current decade.
