Schrodinger's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Schrödinger, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 22,000,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for about 20,576,000 kg CO2e. Within this, the largest categories were the use of sold products (approximately 12,075,000 kg CO2e) and capital goods (about 6,282,000 kg CO2e). Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion were reported at 446,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity totalled 1,144,000 kg CO2e. In 2023, the company’s emissions were slightly higher, totalling around 31,431,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions again dominating at approximately 31,431,000 kg CO2e. The breakdown included significant emissions from the use of sold products (about 19,090,000 kg CO2e) and capital goods (approximately 10,762,000 kg CO2e). Scope 1 emissions were recorded at 249,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions at 847,000 kg CO2e. Schrödinger has committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, with this long-term target encompassing all scopes of emissions. The company is currently on track with its near-term targets, as indicated by its commitment status. This commitment aligns with industry standards and reflects a proactive approach to climate action within the software and services sector. All emissions data is sourced directly from Schrödinger, Inc., with no cascaded data from parent or related organizations.
