Its Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were 947,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (location-based) were 9,082,000 kg CO2e for the same year. Scope 3 emissions for 2024 included: capital goods at approximately 4,873,000 kg CO2e, business travel at around 3,122,000 kg CO2e, employee commute at roughly 2,470,000 kg CO2e, use of sold products at approximately 411,229,000 kg CO2e, purchased goods and services at around 168,060,000 kg CO2e, and waste generated in operations at roughly 548,000 kg CO2e, along with upstream transportation and distribution at approximately 43,876,000 kg CO2e.

Tennant has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. Between 2021 and 2022, the company reduced its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 1.7% from a 2021 baseline. The company has near-term Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2030 from a 2021 base year. Additionally, Tennant aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from use of sold products by 45% within the same timeframe.

For long-term goals, Tennant is committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040 from a 2021 base year. This includes reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2021 base year. The company also commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from purchased goods and services and use of sold products by 90% within the same timeframe. These commitments were validated by SBTi as consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C.
