In 2023, ScanSource, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,066,000 kg CO2e, comprising 687,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2,379,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This reflects a decrease from 2022, where total emissions were about 3,450,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 751,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 2,699,000 kg CO2e. The trend shows a commitment to reducing emissions, with a notable reduction in Scope 1 emissions from 642,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and 182,000 kg CO2e in 2020. Despite these reductions, ScanSource has not set specific science-based targets (SBTi) or documented climate pledges. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which typically includes indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. The absence of reduction targets indicates a potential area for future commitment to climate action. Overall, ScanSource's emissions data reflects a proactive approach to managing its carbon footprint, with significant reductions achieved over recent years. However, the lack of formalised targets suggests that further steps could be taken to enhance its climate commitments.
