In 2024, Storytel reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,968,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 1,200 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 22,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 1,945,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This marks an increase from 2023, where total emissions were about 1,798,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 4,800 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 49,300 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 1,743,500 kg CO2e. Storytel has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025. These targets reflect a proactive approach to mitigating climate impact, aligning with their long-term commitment to achieving net-zero emissions across all scopes by 2050. This commitment is supported by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which has recognised Storytel's net-zero commitment. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that these figures are independently reported. Storytel's ongoing efforts to address its carbon footprint demonstrate a clear dedication to sustainability within the media sector, particularly as it navigates the challenges of high Scope 3 emissions, which constitute the majority of its total emissions.
