In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of Safaricom were 26,616 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2021, Safaricom's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 14.49%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Safaricom's Scope 1 emissions increased by 9.42%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2024, Safaricom reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 14,869 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2021, Safaricom's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have increased by 22.98%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Safaricom's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Safaricom's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2024, Safaricom reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2024, Safaricom reported 4,319.72 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 Safaricom includes a breakdown across 3 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, up from 2 in 2023, reflecting improved emissions accounting practices and greater transparency across the company's value chaina
In 2024, Safaricom reported total Scope 3 emissions of 4,319.72 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 2021, Safaricom's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 29.93%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Safaricom's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Safaricom's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2024, Safaricom 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 2024, the largest contributors to Safaricom's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Safaricom reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 26,616 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 2,710 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 9.82 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Safaricom reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 9.82 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 2.06, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Safaricom ranked 26 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places Safaricom among the least efficient performers, with one of the highest emissions intensities in its sector.a
In 2024, Safaricom reported a total carbon footprint of 45,804.72 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 6.17% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Safaricom's total carbon footprint was Scope 1 emissions, accounting for 58.11% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 32.46%.a
