Sonos's reported carbon emissions
Sonos has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for carbon neutrality across its value chain by 2030 and net zero by 2040. These targets encompass all scopes of emissions.
For the fiscal year 2024, Sonos reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 986 million kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. The breakdown for 2024 indicates that Scope 3 emissions were the most significant, largely driven by purchased goods and services (about 372.4 million kg CO2e) and the use of sold products (approximately 567.8 million kg CO2e). Scope 2 emissions were reported as 0.0 kg CO2e on a market-based approach, with location-based emissions at about 383,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions for 2024 were approximately 64,000 kg CO2e.
In 2023, Sonos's total emissions were approximately 934.4 million kg CO2e, primarily from Scope 3. While specific Scope 1 and 2 figures for 2023 were not fully detailed in the provided data, Scope 3 emissions were dominated by fuel and energy-related activities (approximately 240.1 million kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services, which were reported as a missing data point for this year.
For 2022, total emissions were approximately 996.7 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 31,010 kg CO2e and Scope 3 at roughly 996.6 million kg CO2e. Scope 2 data was not disclosed for this year.
In 2021, total emissions were approximately 1.26 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 3 being the dominant contributor at around 1.25 billion kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions were about 754,750 kg CO2e, and Scope 1 data was not disclosed.
Sonos is actively working to achieve its reduction targets through a Climate Action Plan, which focuses on reducing emissions in product use, supply chain, distribution, and direct operations. This plan involves collaborating with major suppliers to enhance their climate performance and exploring the feasibility of localising repairs and refurbishment. The company has also joined the Responsible Business Alliance, committing to align its operations with industry social, environmental, and ethical standards.
