Compared to the previous year (2024), Equifax's Scope 1 emissions increased by 1.16%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2025, Equifax reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 20,796 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
In 2025, Equifax reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2025, Equifax reported 251,260 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 Equifax includes a breakdown across 3 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, Equifax reported total Scope 3 emissions of 251,260 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 100% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 0% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Equifax's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 2,623.1%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2024), Equifax's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Equifax's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2025, Equifax reported emissions for 3 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 Equifax's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Equifax reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 1,134 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 6,074 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.19 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Equifax reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.19 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 5.82, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Equifax ranked 3 out of 22 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places Equifax among the top performers, with one of the lowest emissions intensities relative to peers.a
In 2025, Equifax reported a total carbon footprint of 273,190 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 3.44% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.ab
The largest contributor to Equifax's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 91.97% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 7.61%.a
