Insights into Softcat's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2025, Softcat has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.a
Does Softcat have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2025, Softcat has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.a
Softcat's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 40% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 82.3 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021.a
Instead of reducing operational emissions, Softcat has increased them, with 2025 levels exceeding those of the 2021 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.a
Softcat's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Softcat have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2025, Softcat has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
Softcat's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 45% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 249,051.36 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021.a
Instead of reducing value chain emissions, Softcat has increased them, with 2025 levels exceeding those of the 2021 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.a
Softcat's Value Chain (Scope 3) Emissions Pathway
Does Softcat have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2025, Softcat has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.a
Softcat's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 249,133.48 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021, by 90% by 2040.a
Instead of reducing total carbon footprint, Softcat has increased them, with 2025 levels exceeding those of the 2021 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.a
