Thomson Reuters's reported carbon emissions
Thomson Reuters, a prominent entity in the Printed matter and recorded media (22) industry with its headquarters in the US, has outlined ambitious climate commitments alongside its reported emissions. For the reporting year ending in 2024, Thomson Reuters reported total carbon emissions of approximately 24 million kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 5.7 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions totalling approximately 2.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions amounting to around 16 million kg CO2e, primarily from business travel. In 2023, the company's total emissions were approximately 14.8 million kg CO2e, comprising around 4 million kg CO2e in Scope 1, roughly 2.4 million kg CO2e in Scope 2, and approximately 8.4 million kg CO2e in Scope 3, with business travel being a significant contributor. Thomson Reuters has set a long-term goal to achieve net zero by 2050. This commitment is supported by near-term targets aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Specifically, the company is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% by 2030, using 2018 as the baseline year. Furthermore, Thomson Reuters aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from fuel and energy-related activities, business travel, and employee commuting by 25% by 2025, with 2019 as the baseline. The company is also working towards ensuring that 65% of its suppliers, by spend, covering purchased goods and services will have science-based targets by 2025. The emissions data for Thomson Reuters is cascaded from its ultimate parent, Thomson Reuters Corporation, as it is a current subsidiary. The SBTi commitments are also inherited from Thomson Reuters Corporation.
