In 2024, SITA reported total carbon emissions of approximately 160,945,000 kg CO2e, a slight decrease from 2023's total of about 162,032,000 kg CO2e. The emissions breakdown for 2024 includes Scope 1 emissions at about 2,864,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 1,627,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions, which total around 156,454,000 kg CO2e. Notably, the largest contributors to Scope 3 emissions are purchased goods and services (approximately 67,446,000 kg CO2e) and use of sold products (about 54,550,000 kg CO2e). SITA has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 46.2% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 from a 2019 baseline, and a similar target for Scope 3 emissions. The company also plans to increase its sourcing of renewable electricity from 15% in 2019 to 100% by 2030. Long-term goals include achieving net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by 2050, with a 90% reduction target for both Scope 1 and 2 emissions, as well as Scope 3 emissions by the same year. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect SITA's commitment to addressing climate change effectively. The data reported is not cascaded from any parent organization, ensuring that SITA's emissions and targets are independently assessed.
