In 2022, Cognite reported total carbon emissions of approximately 717,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions accounting for about 312,000 kg CO2e (location-based) and 83,700 kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were significant, totalling approximately 405,000 kg CO2e. Notably, there were no reported Scope 1 emissions. Comparatively, in 2021, Cognite's total emissions were about 218,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at approximately 44,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at around 174,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial increase in emissions from 2021 to 2022. Cognite's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Cognite AS, and is part of a broader corporate family relationship with Aker ASA, which influences their sustainability reporting. Currently, Cognite has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a need for further commitment to climate action. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive sustainability strategy.
