Vmware's reported carbon emissions

VMware, headquartered in the US, has reported its carbon emissions for several years, detailing a comprehensive approach to climate action. In 2023, VMware's total emissions, encompassing Scope 1, 2, and 3, were approximately 397,008,000 kg CO2e. Breaking this down, Scope 1 emissions amounted to about 3,650,000 kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions, calculated using the market-based approach, were approximately 844,000 kg CO2e, while the location-based figure stood at about 61,224,000 kg CO2e. The vast majority of emissions were attributed to Scope 3, totalling approximately 392,515,000 kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services representing the largest component at roughly 190,576,000 kg CO2e. Looking at previous years, in 2018, total emissions were approximately 397,907,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 4,454,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 15,237,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions in 2018 were approximately 378,123,000 kg CO2e. VMware has established significant climate commitments. The company aims for net zero carbon emissions across its operations and supply chain by 2030, a commitment aligned with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validations. Specifically, VMware has committed to a 50% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030, using FY19 as the base year. Furthermore, there is a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from employee commuting and fuel-and-energy-related activities by 50% by FY2031, also from a FY2019 base year. The company also aims for 100% renewable electricity sourcing. A further commitment is that 75% of its suppliers by spend, covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, upstream leased assets, and upstream transportation and distribution, will have science-based targets by FY2025.
