Compared to the previous year (2023), Gartner's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 27.46%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2024, Gartner reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 7,242 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 10,235 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Gartner's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Gartner's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.ab
In 2024, Gartner reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2024, Gartner reported 59,895 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 Gartner includes a breakdown across 6 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, Gartner reported total Scope 3 emissions of 59,895 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, Gartner's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 44.47%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Gartner's Scope 3 emissions increased by 15.02%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2024, Gartner reported emissions for 6 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 2024, the largest contributors to Gartner's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Gartner reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 904 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 6,269 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.14 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Gartner reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.14 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.88, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Gartner ranked 2 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places Gartner among the top performers, with one of the lowest emissions intensities relative to peers.a
In 2024, Gartner reported a total carbon footprint of 71,034 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 12.2% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.ab
The largest contributor to Gartner's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 84.32% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 14.41%.a
