Sita's reported carbon emissions
SITA, headquartered in Switzerland and operating within the Post and telecommunication services (64) industry, reported a total of approximately 160.9 billion kg CO2e in emissions for 2024. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 2.9 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 1.6 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions amounting to approximately 156.5 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, SITA's total emissions were approximately 162.0 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at roughly 1.8 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 1.8 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 158.4 billion kg CO2e. SITA has established ambitious climate commitments, including a long-term goal to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. This overarching commitment is supported by near-term targets, such as a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46.2% by 2030, from a 2019 baseline. SITA also aims to achieve a 46.2% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe. Furthermore, the company plans to increase its sourcing of renewable electricity from 15% in 2019 to 100% by 2030, and a significant portion of its suppliers (50% by spend) are expected to have science-based targets by 2027. For the long term, SITA commits to a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050, and a similar 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions. The company has also set a near-term target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions to near zero by 2025. Additionally, SITA has committed to a linear yearly emission reduction of 4.2% on Scopes 1 & 2 from 2019 to 2030. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
