In 2023, Permira reported total carbon emissions of approximately 22,328,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for about 22,222,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 102,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled around 524,000 kg CO2e. This data indicates a substantial reliance on upstream activities, particularly in business travel (about 9,693,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 11,091,000 kg CO2e). Over the years, Permira has made notable progress in reducing its emissions.

However, emissions increased in 2023, highlighting the challenges in managing Scope 3 emissions. Permira has set near-term targets aligned with a 1.5°C pathway, aiming to cover 57% of its total investment and lending by invested capital as of 2022. While the company has not committed to a net-zero target, it is actively working towards significant reductions in its operational emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) to meet climate goals.
