ADP, a US-based company in the Data Processing, Hosting, and Related Services industry, reported its 2024 Scope 1 emissions as 12,703,000 kg CO2e. Market-based Scope 2 emissions for the same year were 60,517,000 kg CO2e, while location-based Scope 2 emissions totalled 69,256,000 kg CO2e. The company also disclosed several Scope 3 categories for 2024, including business travel at 38,096,000 kg CO2e, employee commute at 69,753,000 kg CO2e, purchased goods and services at 98,748,000 kg CO2e, waste generated in operations at 964,000 kg CO2e, fuel and energy-related activities at 19,247,000 kg CO2e, and upstream transportation and distribution at 13,424,000 kg CO2e.

Looking back, in 2022, ADP's Scope 1 emissions were 11,911,000 kg CO2e, and market-based Scope 2 emissions were 71,260,000 kg CO2e (location-based Scope 2 was 71,908,000 kg CO2e). For 2020, Scope 1 emissions were 21,760,000 kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions were 77,141,000 kg CO2e (location-based Scope 2 was 76,092,000 kg CO2e), and total Scope 3 emissions were 38,540,000 kg CO2e. In 2019, Scope 1 emissions stood at 16,959,000 kg CO2e, and market-based Scope 2 emissions were 90,117,000 kg CO2e (location-based Scope 2 was 86,493,000 kg CO2e).

ADP has established several climate commitments. In 2021, the company committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 by 2050. This commitment was further elaborated in 2022 with a target to reduce absolute global Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 25.2% by 2025 and by 50% by 2030, both from a 2019 base year. ADP reported a 32% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions in calendar year 2024 from a 2019 baseline.

ADP's Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments, sourced from Automatic Data Processing, Inc., include a near-term target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year. The company also commits to measuring and reducing its Scope 3 emissions. For its long-term net-zero goal by 2050, ADP aims to reduce Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions by 90% from a 2022 base year. These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
