Compared to the previous year (2023), Certara's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Certara's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2024, Certara reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2024, Certara reported 6,145.99 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 2024 disclosure of Certara includes a breakdown across 9 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, up from 7 in 2023, reflecting improved emissions accounting practices and greater transparency across the company's value chaina
In 2024, Certara reported total Scope 3 emissions of 6,145.99 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 99.72% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 0.28% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2022, Certara's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 26.71%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), Certara's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 20.86%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2024, Certara reported emissions for 9 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2024, the largest contributors to Certara's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Certara reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 160.67 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 385 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.42 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Certara reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.42 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.94, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Certara ranked 9 out of 18 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Certara is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Certara reported a total carbon footprint of 7,103.14 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 20.6% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Certara's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 86.52% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 11.21%.a
