Trimble's reported carbon emissions
Trimble, a US-based company in the computer and related services industry, has set ambitious climate commitments, including significant reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Carbon Emissions:
For the fiscal year 2024, Trimble reported total global GHG emissions of approximately 398.1 million kg CO2e. This breaks down into:
- Scope 1: Approximately 2.6 million kg CO2e
- Scope 2: Approximately 12.2 million kg CO2e (location-based)
- Scope 3: Approximately 359.2 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services accounting for the largest portion at roughly 252.0 million kg CO2e, followed by upstream transportation and distribution at approximately 34.5 million kg CO2e, and business travel at around 39.3 million kg CO2e.
In 2023, total global emissions were approximately 301.7 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 4.2 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 10.8 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 at around 286.7 million kg CO2e.
Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:
Trimble is committed to reducing its environmental impact through science-based targets. Key commitments include:
- Absolute GHG Emissions Reduction: A target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, using 2019 as the base year.
- Scope 3 Emissions Reduction: A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from fuel and energy-related activities, business travel, and upstream transportation and distribution by 50% by 2030, also from a 2019 base year.
- Renewable Energy: A target to source 100% renewable electricity by 2025 and to maintain this sourcing through 2030.
- Supplier Engagement: A goal to engage 70% of its suppliers, by emissions coverage of purchased goods and services and capital goods, to set their own science-based emission reduction targets by 2026.
These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are considered consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C. Trimble is reported to be on track for some of these near-term targets.
