Compared to 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Fortinet increased by 52.46%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.ab
In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of Fortinet were 1,728 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Fortinet's Scope 1 emissions have increased by 49.06%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2024), Fortinet's Scope 1 emissions increased by 7.57%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.ab
In 2025, Fortinet reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 0 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 15,721 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Fortinet's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) rose by 59.79% in 2025, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from purchased electricity and energyab
In 2025, Fortinet reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Fortinet reported 2,518,100 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 Fortinet includes a breakdown across 11 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, Fortinet reported total Scope 3 emissions of 2,518,100 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 9.12% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 90.88% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Fortinet's Scope 3 emissions increased by 35.72%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2025, Fortinet reported emissions for 11 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 Fortinet's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Fortinet reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 1,728 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 6,800 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.25 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Fortinet reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.25 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.18, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Fortinet ranked 16 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Fortinet is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Fortinet reported a total carbon footprint of 2,535,549 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 35.82% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.ab
The largest contributor to Fortinet's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 99.31% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 0.62%.a
