Scout24's reported carbon emissions

Scout24 SE, headquartered in DE and operating in the "Other business services (74)" industry, has established ambitious climate targets. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2045. This long-term goal is supported by a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 90% by 2045, using 2018 as the baseline year. In the near term, Scout24 has set a target to maintain a 60% reduction in absolute CO2e emissions across all scopes by 2025, compared to the 2018 baseline. Furthermore, medium-term goals include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 69.8% by 2030 and achieving at least a 50.4% reduction in Scope 3 emissions within the same timeframe, also relative to the 2018 baseline. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), confirming their alignment with a 1.5°C warming scenario. For the reporting year 2024, Scout24 reported approximately 3.51 million kg CO2e in total emissions. This breaks down into approximately 338,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, and approximately 2.97 million kg CO2e for Scope 3. Scope 2 emissions are reported at approximately 164,000 kg CO2e (market-based). The most significant contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2024 were purchased goods and services (approximately 1.44 million kg CO2e), followed by business travel (approximately 459,000 kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (approximately 374,000 kg CO2e). In the previous year, 2023, total emissions were approximately 3.41 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 257,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 224,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled approximately 2.93 million kg CO2e. Scout24's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organisation, and the company is the source of its own reporting.
