In 2024, Cintas completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across the value chain).
However, Cintas has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

In 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Cintas amounted to 642,442 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Cintas increased by 0.51%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.a
In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of Cintas were 540,217 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Cintas's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 12.45%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Cintas's Scope 1 emissions increased by 1.33%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2024, Cintas reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 102,225 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2019, Cintas's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have decreased by 33.65%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Cintas's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Cintas's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2024, Cintas reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2024, Cintas reported 1,262,123 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 Cintas includes a breakdown across 0 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2023, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2024, Cintas reported total Scope 3 emissions of 1,262,123 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Cintas's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 20.82%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Cintas's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Cintas's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2024, Cintas reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 540,217 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 9,597 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 56.29 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Cintas reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 56.29 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 3.22, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Cintas ranked 19 out of 22 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places Cintas among the least efficient performers, with one of the highest emissions intensities in its sector.a
In 2024, Cintas reported a total carbon footprint of 1,904,565 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 1.87% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Cintas's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 66.27% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 28.36%.a
