Logicalis Decreases Scope 1 Emissions by 27%
Logicalis, a global technology service provider, announced significant progress toward its sustainability targets and reported a 27% reduction in Scope 1 emissions since FY22, while it reduced market-based Scope 2 emissions by 17%.
The latest report comes after Logicalis net-zero emissions targets were approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) earlier in 2024.
The results contribute to the company’s target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 50% by 2030, while Scope 1, 2 and 3 are aligned for reaching net-zero by 2050 or sooner.
The technology service provider is on track to ensure 85% of its suppliers by spend, covering purchased goods and services, will have science-based targets by 2028.
The business is also addressing Scope 3 emissions by encouraging low-carbon travel and commuting. Partnering with climate group RouteZero, Logicalis' pilot achieved a 42% reduction in group travel emissions in FY24 with figures representing a pilot group of 50 employees. Platforms offering smarter travel choices will now be extended across Logicalis operations.
"We believe that organizations like ours have a vital role to play in addressing climate change,” Bob Bailkoski, Logicalis CEO, said in a statement. “We are proud of the proactive steps that we have taken, we're evolving into the Responsible Business we envisioned and will continue to strive for better outcomes for all our stakeholders through increasingly Responsible Business practices. At Logicalis, we aim to make the world a better place and our commitment to becoming a net zero carbon organisation by 2050 is a significant part of that."
Logicalis also made advancements toward its target of switching 75% of global operations to renewable energy by 2025 and 100% by 2030. In FY24, 11 operations across the UK, Germany, Spain and Australia switched to renewable energy, with further operations across Portugal, Germany, Ireland and The Channel Islands set to make the switch in the next 12 months.
