In 2024, Lyft reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2024, Lyft reported 2,351,229 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 Lyft includes a breakdown across 10 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, Lyft reported total Scope 3 emissions of 2,351,229 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 6.55% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 93.45% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2020, Lyft's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 73.24%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), Lyft's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Lyft's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2024, Lyft 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 2024, the largest contributors to Lyft's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Lyft reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 2,451 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 5,786 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.42 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Lyft reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.42 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.23, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Lyft ranked 19 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places Lyft among the least efficient performers, with one of the highest emissions intensities in its sector.a
In 2024, Lyft reported a total carbon footprint of 2,356,369 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 3.59% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Lyft's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 99.78% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 0.11%.a
