Insights into Adobe's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Adobe has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.ab
Does Adobe have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, Adobe has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.ab
Adobe's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 42% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 29,504 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2022.ab
Instead of reducing operational emissions, Adobe has increased them, with 2023 levels exceeding those of the 2022 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.ab
