Thomson Reuters

Thomson Reuters, a company in the Computer and related services (72) industry with its headquarters in CA, has established significant climate commitments. The company is dedicated to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, a long-term goal that encompasses all scopes of emissions. This ambitious target is supported by near-term commitments, including a pledge to reduce 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 emissions from fuel and energy-related activities, business travel, and employee commuting by 25% by 2025, with 2019 as the baseline.

In terms of emissions data, Thomson Reuters reported the following for its GLOBAL operations:

In 2024, total emissions were also approximately 24,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 5,700,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 (location-based) stood at approximately 37,000,000 kg CO2e. Business travel accounted for about 16,000,000 kg CO2e within Scope 3.

For 2023, total emissions were approximately 14,800,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 4,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (location-based) was approximately 49,000,000 kg CO2e. Business travel contributed around 8,400,000 kg CO2e to Scope 3.

In 2022, total emissions were approximately 14,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 4,200,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 (location-based) at approximately 49,000,000 kg CO2e. Business travel accounted for about 7,700,000 kg CO2e within Scope 3.

For 2021, total emissions were approximately 8,800,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 3,900,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (location-based) was approximately 50,000,000 kg CO2e. Business travel contributed about 2,100,000 kg CO2e to Scope 3.

In 2020, Scope 1 emissions were about 3,800,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were approximately 67,000,000 kg CO2e (location-based), and business travel within Scope 3 was around 2,900,000 kg CO2e.

For 2019, total emissions were approximately 34,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 7,100,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were approximately 84,000,000 kg CO2e (location-based), and business travel within Scope 3 accounted for about 23,000,000 kg CO2e.

In 2018, the company reported total emissions of approximately 126,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 6,300,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions comprising purchased heat of 4,000,000 kg CO2e and purchased electricity of 92,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were approximately 24,000,000 kg CO2e.

For 2017, total emissions were approximately 300,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 7,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions included purchased heat of 7,000,000 kg CO2e and purchased electricity of 249,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were approximately 37,000,000 kg CO2e.

In 2016, total emissions were approximately 411,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 6,500,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions included purchased heat of 68,000,000 kg CO2e and purchased electricity of 285,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were approximately 51,000,000 kg CO2e.

Thomson Reuters has joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), confirming its commitment to reducing emissions in line with climate science. Their SBTi targets are cascaded from its ultimate parent, Thomson Reuters Corporation, with a cascade level of 0 for initiative sources. The company is on track to meet its near-term targets.
