Scout24's reported carbon emissions

Scout24, based in Germany and operating in the other business services sector, has established comprehensive climate commitments. For the reporting year 2024, the company reported total emissions of approximately 3.98 million kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1 emissions of about 0.34 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 0.16 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling roughly 2.97 million kg CO2e. Looking at previous years, Scout24 reported total emissions of approximately 3.19 million kg CO2e for 2023 and approximately 1.46 million kg CO2e for 2022. Scout24 has set ambitious targets to mitigate its climate impact. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2045. In the short term, Scout24 aims to maintain a 60% reduction in absolute CO2e emissions by 2025, compared to a 2018 baseline year, across all scopes. For the medium term, the company has set a target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 total emissions by 69.8% by 2030, relative to the 2018 baseline. Additionally, there is a commitment to achieve at least a 50.4% CO2e reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030, excluding optional categories. The long-term goal, as part of their net-zero strategy, is to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by a total of 90% by 2045, again using 2018 as the baseline. The company's climate targets are aligned with a 1.5°C pathway, and these commitments are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Scout24 is recognised as being on track for its near-term Scope 2 reduction targets.
