In 2023, the total Scope 1 emissions of Fiserv were 22,146 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Fiserv's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 10.22%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2022), Fiserv's Scope 1 emissions increased by 25.57%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2023, Fiserv reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 106,674 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 100,034 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Since 2019, Fiserv's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have decreased by 23.95%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2022), Fiserv's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Fiserv's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2023, Fiserv reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2023, Fiserv reported 782,146 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 2023 disclosure of Fiserv includes a breakdown across 7 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2022, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2023, Fiserv reported total Scope 3 emissions of 782,146 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 98.43% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 1.57% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Fiserv's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 328.15%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2022), Fiserv's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 28.3%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2023, Fiserv reported emissions for 7 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 2023, the largest contributors to Fiserv's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2023, Fiserv reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 22,146 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 19,093 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 1.16 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2023, Fiserv reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 1.16 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 1.05, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2023, Fiserv ranked 13 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Fiserv is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2023, Fiserv reported a total carbon footprint of 904,326 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 25.77% decrease compared to 2022, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Fiserv's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 86.49% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 11.06%.a
