Sophos's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data from 2018, Sophos reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5,117,400 kg CO2e, which includes 320,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 4,457,300 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 5,117,400 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

This indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments, especially in the context of increasing industry standards for sustainability and carbon neutrality. Sophos's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing both direct and indirect emissions, particularly in Scope 2 and Scope 3, which often represent the largest share of a company's carbon footprint. As the company continues to navigate its environmental impact, establishing clear reduction targets could enhance its commitment to climate action and align with global sustainability goals.
