Compared to the previous year (2024), Intertek Group's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Intertek Group's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2025, Intertek Group reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Intertek Group reported 49,982 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 Intertek Group 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, Intertek Group reported total Scope 3 emissions of 49,982 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, Intertek Group's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 50.33%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Intertek Group's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Intertek Group's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2025, Intertek Group 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 Intertek Group's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Intertek Group reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 62,982 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 4,621 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 13.63 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Intertek Group reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 13.63 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 3.22, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Intertek Group ranked 17 out of 22 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Intertek Group is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Intertek Group reported a total carbon footprint of 225,170 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 0.43% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Intertek Group's total carbon footprint was Scope 2 emissions, accounting for 49.83% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 27.97%.a
