Compared to the previous year (2023), Sage Group's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Sage Group's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2024, Sage Group reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2024, Sage Group reported 190,152.1 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 Sage Group includes a breakdown across 9 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, Sage Group reported total Scope 3 emissions of 190,152.1 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 53.38% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 46.62% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2020, Sage Group's Scope 3 emissionshave remained relatively stable, indicating that Sage Group's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), Sage Group's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Sage Group's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2024, Sage Group reported emissions for 9 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 2024, the largest contributors to Sage Group's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Sage Group reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 1,399.1 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 3,121 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.45 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Sage Group reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.45 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 1.19, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Sage Group ranked 7 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Sage Group is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Sage Group reported a total carbon footprint of 194,787.2 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 0.52% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Sage Group's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 97.62% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 1.66%.a
