Transunion's reported carbon emissions
TransUnion, a US-based organisation operating in computer and related services (72), has made significant climate commitments. In 2025, the company reported total emissions of approximately 214.6 million kg CO2e. This figure comprises approximately 552,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 7.8 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (location-based), and approximately 206.6 million kg CO2e for Scope 3.
TransUnion has set ambitious targets to address its carbon footprint. In 2021, the company established a goal to achieve operational net zero for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by the end of 2025. Furthermore, TransUnion aims for a 30% reduction in Scope 3 emissions from upstream leased real estate by 2030, using 2019 as a baseline. The organisation is reportedly on track to meet its Scope 2 net zero target by 2025.
For the 2024 reporting year, TransUnion reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 286,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 8.4 million kg CO2e (location-based). Scope 3 data for this year was incomplete, with missing figures for purchased goods and services, and employee commute. In 2023, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 308,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 8.4 million kg CO2e (location-based), with similar gaps in Scope 3 reporting.
Earlier reports show Scope 1 and 2 emissions around 15.2 million kg CO2e in 2021 and 2020, with Scope 3 emissions at approximately 9.8 million kg CO2e in both years. In 2019, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 242,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 10.4 million kg CO2e.
