In 2025, F5 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).
F5 has also provided a category-level breakdown for 10 out of 15 Scope 3 emissions categories, offering greater transparency into its value chain emissions.

In 2025, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of F5 amounted to 10,792 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 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of F5 increased by 90.27%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.a
In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of F5 were 431 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, F5's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 15.66%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2024), F5's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 50.57%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2025, F5 reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 5,829 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 10,361 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
In 2025, F5 reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, F5 reported 152,290 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 F5 includes a breakdown across 10 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, F5 reported total Scope 3 emissions of 152,290 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 39.89% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 60.11% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), F5's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that F5's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2025, F5 reported emissions for 10 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2025, the largest contributors to F5's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, F5 reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 431 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 3,087 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.14 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, F5 reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.14 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.2, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, F5 ranked 9 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
F5 is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, F5 reported a total carbon footprint of 163,082 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 5.74% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to F5's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 93.38% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 6.35%.a
