TransUnion Sets Goal to Reach Net Zero by 2025

TransUnion announced its new climate pledge to reach net zero on Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2025 and 30% reductions on leased real estate Scope 3 emissions by 2030. 

“Corporations must take meaningful action on climate change,” said Chris Cartwright, CEO of TransUnion in a statement. “At TransUnion our global presence means that we are uniquely positioned to do our part in catalyzing climate action on a worldwide scale. We are committed to mitigating the impacts of our actions on the climate.”

TransUnion’s environmental commitment consists of two objectives. The Chicago-based credit scoring company plans to eliminate Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 by signing PPAs creating renewable energy for the properties it owns. TransUnion also intends to reduce real estate Scope 3 emissions by 30% through the procurement of renewable energy for leased buildings and executing on the company’s planned environmentally sound cloud migration.

Beginning in 2022, TransUnion intends to offset its full climate change emissions through credible carbon offsets. As TransUnion increases renewable energy purchased for owned and leased properties, it will reduce offsets proportionally.
