Compared to 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Adyen increased by 44.5%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.a
In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of Adyen were 568 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2021, Adyen's Scope 1 emissions have increased by 145.89%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2024), Adyen's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 9.27%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2025, Adyen reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 2,926 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 17,628 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Adyen's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) rose by 47.32% in 2025, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from purchased electricity and energya
In 2025, Adyen reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Adyen reported 80,324 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of Adyen includes a breakdown across 4 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, Adyen reported total Scope 3 emissions of 80,324 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 90% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 10% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2021, Adyen's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 408.64%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2024), Adyen's Scope 3 emissions increased by 19.68%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2025, Adyen reported emissions for 4 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
The limited disclosure restricts visibility into specific emission sources across the company's value chain.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Adyen's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Adyen reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 568 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 3,112 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.18 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Adyen reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.18 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.21, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Adyen ranked 10 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Adyen is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Adyen reported a total carbon footprint of 98,520 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 23.6% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Adyen's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 81.53% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 17.89%.a
