Skillsoft's Climate Commitments and Emissions Data

In 2023, Skillsoft, an organisation within the "Other business services (74)" industry headquartered in the US, reported its greenhouse gas emissions. The total emissions for the year amounted to approximately 5,700,000 kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of Scope 1 emissions totalling around 291,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions, measured on a market basis, of approximately 1,086,000 kg CO2e. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions were reported, including business travel at approximately 2,811,000 kg CO2e and employee commuting at approximately 1,411,000 kg CO2e.

Skillsoft has made significant commitments to reduce its environmental impact. It has set Science Based Targets (SBTi) for emissions reduction, aiming for a 42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by FY2030, using FY2022 as the base year. Furthermore, Skillsoft commits to a 25% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe. These targets have been validated by SBTi and are consistent with keeping global warming to 1.5°C. While some reduction targets are derived from the organisation's direct commitments, the data presented for emissions covers Scope 1, 2, and 3.

Beyond the SBTi targets, Skillsoft also aims for a 30% reduction in corporate air travel emissions by FY2030, with FY2020 as the base year. There are also long-term aspirations for net-zero emissions by 2050, encompassing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The data presented is not cascaded from a parent organisation, with all reporting and targets originating directly from Skillsoft.
