The 2026 disclosure of Naspers includes a breakdown across 8 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, up from 6 in 2025, reflecting improved emissions accounting practices and greater transparency across the company's value chaina
In 2026, Naspers reported total Scope 3 emissions of 3,074,065 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 41.1% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 58.9% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2020, Naspers's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 10.76%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2025), Naspers's Scope 3 emissions increased by 14,396.89%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2026, Naspers 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.
In 2026, the largest contributors to Naspers's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2026, Naspers reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 37,057 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 10,848 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 3.42 tCO₂e per millions USD.b
In 2026, Naspers reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 3.42 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.54, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.b
In 2026, Naspers ranked 21 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).b
This places Naspers among the least efficient performers, with one of the highest emissions intensities in its sector.b
In 2026, Naspers reported a total carbon footprint of 3,138,226 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 3,450.59% increase compared to 2025, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.abc
The largest contributor to Naspers's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 97.96% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 1.18%.ab
