Emissions Covered by IBM’s Fifth-Generation Goal
Supplementary notes
Scope 1 Emissions - associated with IBM’s use of fuels for building operations and transportation, as well as from the use of refrigerants and chemicals with a global warming potential. Scope 2 Emissions - from IBM’s use of electricity, cooling, heat and steam at IBM-managed locations, accounting for our purchases of renewable electricity. Scope 3 Emissions - Includes only those emissions associated with the generation of electricity consumed by IBM’s data centers located in third-party managed facilities.
IBM’s total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions totaled ** metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e) in 2023, a ** percent reduction compared to the previous year. Scope * indirect emissions were the largest contributor to IBM's annual emissions that year, at ** tCO₂e. As of 2023, IBM had reduced its operational GHG emissions by **** percent against the company's 2010 base year. This means IBM achieved its goal of cutting emissions by ** percent by 2025 two years early.
