We do not declare sustainability: we measure it, year after year, with verifiable numbers. ## ## The numbers of our footprint We measured our Organizational Carbon Footprint for the 2024 base year. Complete numbers, calculated in-house, the starting point of our targets. - **47.24 tCO₂e**: Total emissions (location-based). 45.83 market-based. - **0 tCO₂e**: Scope 1 and Scope 2 (market-based). 100% renewable energy. - **1.10 tCO₂e**: Intensity per employee. ### 97% of emissions are Scope 3 Indirect value-chain emissions are the core of our commitment. This is where we act. - Commuting and remote work: 38% - Business travel: 22% - IT purchases: 20% - Capital goods: 19% ### Annual reporting - 2024 | 47.24 | 0 | Base year ## WHERE WE WANT TO BE BY 2030 Our near-term targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative through the streamlined route for SMEs, aligned with the 1.5°C trajectory (scope 1 and 2). Base year 2024, target year 2030. SBTi ID 40017722. Scope 1: we maintain zero emissions through 2030. Scope 2: we commit to reduce absolute emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2024 base year. Scope 3: we commit to measure and reduce them. "Sparkfabrik commits to maintain zero scope 1 emissions through 2030. Sparkfabrik also commits to reduce absolute scope 2 GHG emissions 42% by 2030 from a 2024 base year, and to measure and reduce its scope 3 emissions." Science Based Targets initiative, official target language ## Our actions On the 97% of Scope 3 emissions we act with concrete levers, not offsets. Here is where we intervene. ### 100% renewable energy Certified green energy (A2A): the reason Scope 1 and 2 are at zero market-based. ### Remote-first model 90% remote work: less commuting, fewer emissions from the heaviest item of our footprint. ### Low-carbon cloud Choosing low-carbon cloud regions and optimizing resources to reduce infrastructure impact. ### Train-first travel Sustainable travel policy: train before plane when possible, on the second emissions item. ### Hardware lifecycle We extend the life of IT devices to reduce purchases and capital goods, the third and fourth items of the footprint. ### Green WFH guide A practical guide for employees: making work from home more sustainable too. --- *This is a Markdown version of the page to facilitate reading by AI and crawlers.* *Visit [https://www.sparkfabrik.com/en/sustainability/](https://www.sparkfabrik.com/en/sustainability/) for the full version.*
