• Scope 2 (market-based): 3,119,000 kg CO2e
• Scope 3: Includes 446,829,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, 42,127,000 kg CO2e from business travel, 19,140,000 kg CO2e from capital goods, 12,645,000 kg CO2e from employee commute, 9,534,000 kg CO2e from fuel and energy-related activities, and 555,000 kg CO2e from upstream transportation and distribution.

Looking back, Adobe's emissions in 2024 were:

• Scope 1: 7,218,000 kg CO2e
• Scope 2 (market-based): 19,602,000 kg CO2e
• Scope 3: Includes 409,284,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, 49,260,000 kg CO2e from business travel, 14,548,000 kg CO2e from capital goods, 12,043,000 kg CO2e from employee commute, 10,984,000 kg CO2e from fuel and energy-related activities, and 472,000 kg CO2e from upstream transportation and distribution.

For 2023, Adobe reported:

• Scope 1: 7,649,000 kg CO2e (including 5,274,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion, 1,997,000 kg CO2e from mobile combustion, and 378,000 kg CO2e from fugitive emissions)
• Scope 2 (market-based): 22,950,000 kg CO2e
• Scope 3 total: 612,099,000 kg CO2e (with significant contributions from purchased goods and services at 511,376,000 kg CO2e, capital goods at 47,112,000 kg CO2e, and business travel at 38,141,000 kg CO2e).

Adobe has set ambitious Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) aligned with a 1.5°C scenario. The company commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by FY2050. Near-term targets include a 42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by FY2030 from a FY2022 base year, and a 52% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions per USD value added within the same timeframe. Long-term, Adobe aims for a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by FY2050 from a FY2022 base year. Earlier targets from 2021 indicated a 35% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2025 from a 2018 base year, and a 30% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel over the same period. Additionally, Adobe targets that 55% of its suppliers by spend, covering purchased goods and services and capital goods, will have science-based targets by 2025.
