Insights into MongoDB's Value Chain Emissions
In 2024, MongoDB reported 65,713 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 MongoDB includes a breakdown across 8 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, up from 7 in 2023, reflecting improved emissions accounting practices and greater transparency across the company's value chaina
MongoDB's Scope 3 Emissions Over Time
- Total Scope 3
- Year-over-Year Change
What are MongoDB's Scope 3 emissions?
In 2024, MongoDB reported total Scope 3 emissions of 65,713 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 87.18% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 12.82% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), MongoDB's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that MongoDB's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.ab
What categories of Scope 3 emissions does MongoDB disclose?
In 2024, MongoDB reported emissions for 8 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.
What are the main sources of MongoDB's Scope 3 emissions?
In 2024, the largest contributors to MongoDB's Scope 3 emissions were:a
- Purchased Goods and Services (Cat. 1): 37,782 tCO₂e (57.5%)
- Business Travel (Cat. 6): 13,663 tCO₂e (20.79%)
- Use of Sold Products (Cat. 11): 8,426 tCO₂e (12.82%)
MongoDB's Scope 3 Emissions by Categories
Insights into MongoDB’s GHG Emissions Intensity Compared to Industry Peers
In 2024, MongoDB reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 326 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 2,006 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.16 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
MongoDB's Scope 1 Emissions Intensity Compared to Peers
How does MongoDB's GHG emissions intensity compare to its peers?
In 2024, MongoDB reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.16 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.23, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
Where does MongoDB rank on GHG emissions intensity within its industry?
In 2024, MongoDB ranked 9 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
MongoDB is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
