Certara's reported carbon emissions

Certara, a US-based company operating in research and development services (73), has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. For the reporting year 2024, their total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were approximately 7,073,000 kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 160,670 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 796,480 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 6,145,990 kg CO2e. In the preceding year, 2023, Certara reported total GHG emissions of approximately 9,010,770 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 363,340 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at roughly 816,410 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 7,765,850 kg CO2e. For 2022, Scope 1 and 2 emissions were reported, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 435,970 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at about 1,109,190 kg CO2e (based on location-based totals). Certara has set ambitious reduction targets aligned with climate science. As part of their near-term commitments, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 63.0% by 2035, using 2024 as the base year. Furthermore, they are committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream leased assets, and downstream leased assets by 37.5% within the same 2035 timeframe. These targets are consistent with keeping warming to 1.5°C. Additionally, Certara aims for its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to approach near-zero levels by the middle of the current decade. They also have a target for 89.66% of their suppliers, covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation and distribution, to have science-based targets by 2030.
