In 2020, Osram Licht reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2020, Osram Licht reported 15,794,200 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 2020 disclosure of Osram Licht includes a breakdown across 5 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2019, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2020, Osram Licht reported total Scope 3 emissions of 15,794,200 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 5.03% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 94.97% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Compared to the previous year (2019), Osram Licht's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Osram Licht's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2020, Osram Licht reported emissions for 5 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 2020, the largest contributors to Osram Licht's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2020, Osram Licht reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 29,200 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 3,568 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 8.18 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2020, Osram Licht reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 8.18 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 8.44, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2020, Osram Licht ranked 13 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Osram Licht is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2020, Osram Licht reported a total carbon footprint of 16,083,900 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 7.31% decrease compared to 2019, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Osram Licht's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 98.2% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 1.62%.a
