In 2024, SEEK reported total carbon emissions of approximately 16,570,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 87,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 1,325,600 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (primarily from purchased electricity), and a significant 15,061,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. In comparison, the previous year, 2023, SEEK's total emissions were about 16,825,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 88,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1,389,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 15,348,000 kg CO2e. SEEK has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The company does not appear to have cascaded any emissions data from a parent organisation, and all reported figures are derived directly from SEEK Limited. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that SEEK is currently focusing on measuring and reporting its emissions without formalised commitments to reduction strategies. Overall, SEEK's emissions data reflects a substantial reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass indirect emissions from the value chain, indicating an area for potential future focus in their sustainability efforts.
