Softcat

Softcat's carbon emissions data for the financial year ending 2025 indicates a total of approximately 363.5 million kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of approximately 0.2 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 0.3 million kg CO2e (market-based), and substantial Scope 3 emissions amounting to approximately 363 million kg CO2e. The largest contributor to its Scope 3 emissions is purchased goods and services, accounting for approximately 309.7 million kg CO2e, followed by the use of sold products at approximately 48.9 million kg CO2e.

Softcat has established ambitious climate commitments, aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company has committed to a 45% reduction in its absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, using a 2021 baseline year. This near-term goal supports their long-term ambition to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across their entire value chain by 2040, which involves a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions by the same year. These targets have been approved by the SBTi as being in line with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
