ADP's 2024 emissions data indicates total Scope 1 emissions of approximately 12.7 million kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of about 60.5 million kg CO2e, and location-based Scope 2 emissions of approximately 69.3 million kg CO2e. Key upstream Scope 3 emissions categories include purchased goods and services at around 98.7 million kg CO2e, employee commute at approximately 69.8 million kg CO2e, and business travel at about 38.1 million kg CO2e. Other Scope 3 emissions comprise fuel and energy-related activities (around 19.2 million kg CO2e), upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 13.4 million kg CO2e), and waste generated in operations (about 964,000 kg CO2e).

ADP has committed to several climate targets. In 2021, the company pledged to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3) by 2050. This commitment was further reinforced in 2022 with a near-term target to reduce absolute global Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 25.2% by 2025 and 50% by 2030, both from a 2019 baseline. The company reported a 32% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions in calendar year 2024 compared to their 2019 baseline.

ADP's Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments, which are set at the parent company level by Automatic Data Processing, Inc., include reducing Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year, and measuring and reducing its Scope 3 emissions. Additionally, ADP commits to reaching net-zero by 2050, which entails a 90% reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 2050 from a 2022 base year. These targets are consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
