Softcat

Softcat reported Total CO2e Emissions - Location-Based Scope 1 + Scope 2 for the twelve months ending 30 June 2021 at 0.39 Kt (+0.06/+18% y-o-y). Carbon intensity also grew to 0.3 t (+0.1/+50% y-o-y).

No public disclosure of Scope 3 emissions has been found for Softcat at the moment.

The company is committed to achieving carbon neutrality for Scope 1 + 2 by 2022, which translates into the estimated reduction of -0.39 Kt per annum over the period of FY2022 - FY2022. This target, however, has not been recognised as science-based (and as aligned with Paris Agreement) by the SBTi.

Softcat aims to achive carbon neutrality across its operations (Scope 1 + 2) in 2022. Companies normally become carbon neutral with the help of the acquisition of carbon offsets rather than absolute reductions in their own greenhouse emissions. Also, carbon neutrality does not include non-CO2 GHG emissions.

Softcat also has a science-based goal that, however, does not appear to explicitly target a company-wide reduction in emissions in absolute terms. Overall Net-Zero Target Softcat commits to reach net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by FY2040. Near-Term Targets Softcat commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 45% by FY2030 from a FY2021 base year. Softcat also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 40% within the same time frame. Long-Term Targets Softcat commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 90% by FY2040 from a FY2021 base year. Softcat also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 90% within the same time frame.
