This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 3,042,000 kg CO2e, primarily from mobile combustion, and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 440,000 kg CO2e (location-based). The majority of their emissions, around 10,328,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, with significant contributions from business travel (about 8,011,000 kg CO2e) and employee commuting (approximately 1,691,000 kg CO2e). Visma's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Visma AS, reflecting a corporate family relationship. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a potential area for future commitment. In previous years, Visma's emissions were recorded at approximately 11,519,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and about 12,821,000 kg CO2e in 2020, showing a trend of increasing emissions over these years. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Visma is actively measuring its carbon footprint, it may need to establish clearer climate commitments to align with industry standards.
