In 2024, Zebra Technologies reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2024, Zebra Technologies reported 924,860 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 Zebra Technologies includes a breakdown across 11 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, Zebra Technologies reported total Scope 3 emissions of 924,860 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 74.73% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 25.27% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2020, Zebra Technologies's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 36.87%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Zebra Technologies's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 31.36%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.ab
In 2024, Zebra Technologies reported emissions for 11 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2024, the largest contributors to Zebra Technologies's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Zebra Technologies reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 3,548.37 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 4,981 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.71 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Zebra Technologies reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.71 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 1.27, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Zebra Technologies ranked 9 out of 23 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Zebra Technologies is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Zebra Technologies reported a total carbon footprint of 949,034.97 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 30.3% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.ab
The largest contributor to Zebra Technologies's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 97.45% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 2.17%.a
